The Crown in Right of Ontario (Ministry of Transportation) Employer Before: P.M. Epstein Vice-Chairpe£son I. Thomson Member D. Montrose Member For the Grievor: D. Wright Counsel Ryder,'Whitaker, Wright and Chapman Barristers & Solicitors For the Employer: D. Francis Counsel Winkler, Filion and Wakely Barristers & Solicitors .Bearing: December 12, 1989 OPSEU (McCauley et al) - and - Ministry of Transportation DECISION The grievors are Construction Technicians employed by the Ministry of Transportation in the Ministry's northern region. They are classified at the level of Technician 3, Survey and all of the grievors seek a declaration from this Board that they are improperly classified. They ask that the matter be remitted to the Ministry for proper classification in accordance with the decision of the Divisional Court in Ontario Pubi£c Service Employees Union and Carol Berry et al v. The Crown in Right of Ontario (Ministry of Community and Social Services). There are twenty-six individual grievors~ which grievances have been consolidated pursuant to the agreement of the parties, Counsel for the employer and the grievors agree that, in the event that the Board finds that the classification is improper, the Board should issue a 'Berry' order and neither party, suggests that any other classification is appropriate for these grievors. The case proceeded on the basis of an agreed statement of facts which was given to us in opening by counsel for the grievors. Those facts establish that the grievors all carry out the duties - 3 - set out in the Position Specification which is annexed as Appendix "A~' to these Reasons. The parties agree that this Position Specification accurately describes the job duties of the grievors. The Class Standard is set out as Appendix "B" to these Reasons. That Class Standard, Technician 3, Survey, makes it clear that the persons covered in the Class Standard are those persons who engage in survey work almost exclusively. There was no serious dispute between the..parties that the_.w0rk done by the Construction Technicians' is very considerably beyond the description covered in the Class Standard. It is obvious that the Class Standard does not accurately describe the duties of the grievors. It is conceded by the~employer that these grievers who work primarily in the area of building and rebuilding of highways have very considerable inspection duties. In addition, they perform quality assurance checks by inspecting in areas such as grading, asphalting, concrete work, electrical work and the like. Even a cursory review of the Position Specification in Appendix shows a range of duties far beyond those set out in the Class Standard. Counsel agreed that, in the Ministry of Transportation, employees who worked in the highway program were formerly divided into two - 4 - sections, that of the surveys branch and that of inspections. These two sections were merged in 1979 and employees were then expected to perform both survey work and inspection work. It appears that although the jobs were combined in 1979 no new classifications were created to reflect these new positions. The Board is of the view that the result of combining the functions of those doing surveys and those doing inspections is that it has resulted in Construction Technicians being no longer properly classified. The Class Standard was written in 1965 when employees in this area of the Ministry were divided into two sections. The Class Standard has become grossly out of date by reason of the lapse of time, the changing technology and the very considerable change in duties of those performing these tasks. In .September, 1989, the Ministry produced a Cons.truction Field Staff Report which was filed as Exhibit 1 in this proceeding. A review of that report demonstrates that ~ven the Ministry seemed to acknowledge that the qualifications for both Construction Technician and Senior Construction Technician were considerably in exce'ss-of those set out in the Class Standard. That report makes it clear that Construction Technicians should have certain educational requirements which are either core on-the-Job training with experience for at least two years or graduation from an appropriate community college, two-year civil technician course, or graduation from an appropriate community college, three-year civil technology course. It is obvious that a grade 12 education is no longer a suitable qualification for a Construction Technician ~nd that the Ministry has itself recognized this in its report. It was common ground between the employer and the grievors that the greater proportion of.the grievor's time is spent on inspection and quality assurance performance work rather than on surveying. The Board has no difficulty in concluding that a substantial part of the task of the grievors is missing from tke Class Standard. The current classification does not accurately reflect the level of judgment, accountability and responsibility of the Construction Technician position. It does not adequately reflect the duties respecting inspection, quality assurance and field office work performed by the grievors. The Class Standards are seriously deficient in attempting to be an accurate descrLption of the. job to be performed by the grievors. The Board has, therefore, concluded that the grievors have been improperly classified as Technician 3, Survey. Since the parties have invited us to impose a 'Berry' order in the event of such a finding, we hereby do so. We will apply the twenty-day rule with respect to retroactivity and interest, but we do not propose to fix a specific time-limit for the reclassification since we are aware from the evidence that this re-classification may have a ripple effect throughout the Ministry which may require more time. The Board does want to, however, be assured that the re-classification will take place on an expedited basis. Accordingly, the Board expects that the Ministry will begin immediately to re-classify the employees and unless sufficient progress is made and communicated to the grievors within ninety days, the grievors may move for an expedited hearing to fix a date for the completion of the re- classification process. For the reasons set out above, the grievance is allowed. The Board wili retain jurisdiction to assist with any issue that might arise in the implementation of this award. OPSEU TRUCHON e~ al - and - Ministry of Transportation This case involves the grievances of thirty-five individual grievors which have been consolidated on agreement of the parties. As in the case of McCauley et al, above, each of the grievors is employed in the construction section of the Ministry and each is employed as a Senior Construction Technician, working in the Ministry's northern region. All of the grievors are classified at the level of Technician 1 Construction Atypical and all grieve that they are improperly classified. This proceeding was heard, together with McCauley et al above, and the evidence was heard in common with respect to both proceedings and was agreed by the parties to be applied to both. We, therefore, do not repeat the findings made in McCauley et al, but Where applicable they equally apply to this award. Again, the parties agree that Appendix "C" to these reasons, being a position specification for a Senior Construction, accurately sets out the duties of the Senior Construction. Appendix "D" is the Class Standard, being Technician 1 Construction. It is to be noted immediately that the Technician 1 Construction Class Standard indicates that the employees therein described a~e project supervisors, all directing department personnel in various tasks in connection with highway construction. The class definition continually refers to the employee directing o~ supervising various work. At first blush, therefore, one would think that the class definition is more applicable to the supervisor of the Senior Construction Technician rather than the Senior Construction Technician. This is explained by counsel for the Union when he points out that when the two sections, surveys and inspections, were merged as set out in the reasons in McCauley, the Senior Construction classification was changed to T~chnician 1 ~urvey in order to reflect the increased' responsibility of the Senior Construction. At that time the classification became Technician 1 Construction (Atypical), atypical being added because it was apparent that the class definition did not accurately reflect the work being done by the Senior Construction Technician. Although it might be unusual for the grievors to seek a new classification as opposed to accepting a classification which apparently calls for a higher position, nevertheless there, can be no doubt that the grievors are entitled to seek the proper classification as opposed to simply accepting a classification that is inappropriate. Again, it is clear from reviewing the position specification that the positions of Construction Technician and Senior Construction Technician are closely linked. They perform similar duties and Senior Construction Technician is the next step up the ladder with respect to responsibility and accountability for Construction Technicians. We adopt the reasons in McCauley et al above when we say that a substantial part of the task of the grievors is missing from the Class Standard. The duties of a Senior Construction Technician simply do not fit within the Class Standard for Technician 1 Construction. They do not work as proj?ct supervisors and do not have work assigned by the construction supervisor. .They perform specific tasks on their own rather than directing employees to perform the tasks and the Class Standard does not accurately reflect the various and significant number of duties which the grievors perform. The grievors point out that by characterizing the grievors as atypical, the Ministry has itself recognized that the grievors' job duties do not fit within the Class Standard. Again, it is also clear that the qualifications portion of Appendix "D" and the knowledge and experience and skills and abilities portions of Appendix "C" are not closely related, or even similar. Notwithstanding the ~aliant attempts of counsel for the employers, he could give us no persuasive reason as to why the Senior Construction Technician should not be reclassified. While we recognize that in certain cases it may be appropriate for the employer to' classify the employee using an atypical designation, we do not think it is applicable in this case becaus~ there 'is a very significant departure between the Class Definition and the Position Specification. For those reasons, and the reasons set out in McCauley et al above, we conclude that the Senior Construction Technicians have also been improperly classified and we again, therefore, issue a 'Berry' order on the same basis as in_~¢Cauley. The employer is hereby directed to re-classify, applying the twenty-day rule with respect to retroactivity and interest. Again, we fix no time limit save and except the time limits indicated in McCauley. The Board will remain seized of these grievances pending implementation of the terms of this award. At the opening of the hearing, we were notified that grievances of L. Bradley, W. Blommaer~, Rhodes, J. Smith and A. Mainland were to be consolidated and heard with the above-noted cases. Neither counsel for the employer, nor counsel for the Union, was aware of the agreement order for consolidation and since the grievors were not represented and no argument was made with respect to their grievances, this Board will retain jurisdiction over those grievances. If the parties are not content that the result herein in the two matters above apply to these grievances, then a hearing shall be convened to deal with those grievances by the same panel. DATED at Toronto, this 22nd day of j~n~i~ , 1940. P.M. Epstein, Vice Chairperson I. J.~ D.C. ~ontrose, Member "BACKGROUND The Report of the Classification and Training Subcommittee, issued in November, 1979, was a product of the Quality Assurance in Construction Project. The principal objective of that subco~mittee, and hence of its report, was to replace the then existing hierarchy of construction field staff, which treated inspection as a separate function with its own classifications, by a single stream of much more versatile field technicians able to perform tasks related to quality assurance, layout and payment computation. In 1987, recognizing that the Report of the Classification and Training Subcommittee, besides being out of print, was out of date in some respects, the Construction Committee set up a subcommittee to review and revise it, and to develop a uniform approach for applying the upcoming Performance Planning and Revi%w to construction field staff. This Position Specification Review Subcommittee comprised: D. F. Barnes (then Construction Manager, Northern Region) - Chairman J. Smrcka (Construction Manager, Central Region) D. A. Waller (Construction Manager, Southwestern Region) V. McQueen (then with Personnel Services, Northwestern Region) L. M. Peverett (Contract Management Office) - Secretary Its task was to develop (i) revisSons to the policies established in the Report of the Classification . and Training Subcommittee (1979), -~ ' (ii) revised position specifications for all construction field positions to reflect the above, and to be consistent with current policies of credentialism, etc.~, and (iii) generic PPR key result areas for these positions. CONTENT This report replaces the I979 Report of the Classification and Training Subcommittee. Much of what was in the 1979 Report is now redundant because it set out the details of a change which has long since been effected. However, some parts of the Report are still relevant and useful, and they have been updated and are included in this report. The position of ConstructioR Group Leader, which was initiated in the 1979 Report, hut which never found favou~ in the Regions, is relinquished, and the old position of Senior Inspector (HCI-2) is restored to replace the inspection and related supervisory duties of it. The revised generic Position Specifications for construction field staff are included in the report, but the generic PPR Key Result Areas, published previously, are not ~ncluded. VERSATILITY 2~ The 1979 Report dealt at some length with the animosity and dtsatisfaction resulting from the two parallel field staff classification systems then in use, and detailed their replacement by a single hierarchy. The Report recognized that the specialization ~nherent in the two separate streams had significant benefits, but argued that those benefits were heavily outweighed by the CONSTRUCTION GROUP LE~ER VERSUS HCI-2 At the time of the 1979 Report there were two different positions utilizing the HCI-2 classification. These were the Area Supervising Inspector, of whom there were two in Central Region and three in Northwestern at that time, and the Senior Inspector, of whom there were twenty six, fifteen of them in Central Region~ Area Supervising Inspector (N.W. Region only) This position reports directly to the Construction Supervisor, and facilitates quality assurance on all the contracts in his/her area. The 1979 subcommittee saw this function in some conflict with the Quality Assurance Section of the Regional Construction Office, and their Report required the Regions to review the alternative of reassigning the duties between the Quality Assurance Section and the Construction Supervisors before making any new appointment. Central Region now has no incumbents in this position, while Northwestern still has three. Senior Inspector (HCI-2) - This position reports to the Pro~ect Supervisor and normally deals with quality assurance on a single large contract. The 1979 subcommittee decided to phase the position out and replace it by the Construction Group Leader. .Construction Group Leader This position was devised by the 1979 sqbco~mmittee and classified at Technician 2,.Construction, in the bargaining unit. The Group Leader could be assigned to any of three roles: - Project Supervisor on a small contract - Assistant project supervisor - Quality assurance supervisor on a large contract Comparatively few permanent appointments were made to the Construction Group Leader position, and it never found favour with the Regions. This was largely because of the potential conflict felt to exist between its bargaining unit status and its project supervisor role. As a result, the Senior Inspector position has continued in use. This Subcommittee decided, therefore, to reverse the action taken by the 1979 subcommittee. The Construction Group Leader position will remain only for present incumbents, and no further appointments to it will be'made. The Senior Inspector, HCI-2 position, will be put back into regular use, and a new generic position description has been written for it and is included in this Report; it should be noted that it does not apply to the three "area" positions in Northwestern Region. Employees may be selected from the unclassified staff for the OJT program only when predicted future program staffing requirements dictate the need for additional permanent staff. The decision to pla~e them on OJT is to be made only on the expectation that, provided they continue to show Promise, openings in the classified staff are imminent. The objectives of the OJT program are divided l~to a core or basic set, followed by completion of the balance. The core OJT remains as the qualification for the working level (Construction Technician, T3S), while the balance, completed while at the working level, becomes (together with one of the technology courses) the qualification for the next level (Senior Construction Technician, TIC). PROGRESSION TO WORKING LEVEL TRAINEE CONSTRUCTION TECHNICIAN (TLS) This is the entry level for secondary school graduates, and is filled by unclassified staff exclusively. All incumbents are given the opportunity to enrol in 'the self-taught Junior Training Program, and to take the qualifying'examination-for the Junior Construction Technician Level. JUNIOR CONSTRUCTION TECHNICIAN (T2S) Under normal circumstances this is the highest level attainable in the unclassified staff. It is also the lowest level in the classified staff, being an underfill to the Construction Technician position. Qualification requirements are the Junior Training qualification and, normally, at least six months' field experience. The entry salary level is one step above the bottom level for each season of related experience. CONSTRUCTION TECHNICIAN (T3S) This is the working level. The qualification requirements are either years) at the Junior Construction Technician (T2S) level, or - graduation from an appropriate community college two year civil technician course, or - graduation from an appropriate community college three year civil technology course. -6- Graduates oft~t~o year ci~l technician courses are hired at the boCto= level of the ~alary sca'~e. Graduates of thr.~ ~ear civil technology courses are hired at the ~iddle level of the ~alary scale. ~ Incumbents of this position should have a general competence in all areas of contract administration. This is the first level to which promotion is not automatic upon qualification, a~d is also the first level with any supervisory responsibilities. Qualification requirements are - the complete OJT ,~except for 3 year civil technology graduates, who require only ~he~alance), and - one of the three technology courses (Soils, Concrete or Asphalt), and - balanced technical and ins~ec:ion experience in contract administration, normally a minimum of ~wo years in the working level position. E~trants to this position will normally have had a~ least five years' varied experience in contract administration or an equivalent combination of education and experience. SENIOR INSPECTOR (HCI2) The Senior Inspector is assigned to a large contract, where indicated by the CREPS template, and is responsible for all quall:y assurance activities. Qualification requirements are - all three technology courses (Soils, Concrete and Asphalt), and - extensive technical and inspection experience, wi~h normally a minimum of 3 years experience in ~he Senior Construction Technician position. PROJECT SUPERVISOR The classification of the Project Supervisor is now TEN 15. Provincial Highways Directive B-230, provides for temporary appointment to Senior Projec~ Supervisor a~ TEN 16, and rare special cases at TEN [7. Qualification requirements for Project Supervisor are - all three technology courses (Soils, Concrete and Asphalt), and - the current Project Supervisor Course, and - extensive technical and inspection experience, normally in the Senior Construction Technician position or Senior Inspector position. CONSTRUCTION SUPERVISOR The classification of the Construction Supervisor is now TEN Provincial Highways Directive B-230 provides for temporary appointment to Senior Construction Supervisor at TEN 18, and special cases at TEN rare POSITION SPECIFICATIONS - Generic Position Specifications are appended for the following field Construction Technician Senior Construction Technician Senior Inspector Foreman/Woman - Regional Mobile Bituminous Laboratory Foreman/Woman - Mobile Laboratory, Quality Assurance Quality Assurance Officer (Bituminous) Quality Assurance Officer (Concrete) Quality Assurance Officer (Soils & Aggregates) Project Supervisor Construction Supervisor Some other field positions, occurring only in a single Region, have not been included, since it was felt that generic specifications were not needed.
