Abstract
There are six grievances. The Union alleges that the Employer breached the Collective Agreement by the assignment of duties without following the program of work established locally, changed some duties without meaningful consultation and did not ensure that employees assigned to coding duties were not required to code for entire shifts. The Union also requested that employees who had been improperly assigned be compensated.
The grievance fails. The Employer did not have temporary employees trained to code. This reduced the scheduling options. The lack of consultation was considered insignificant.
