AWARD
In this case the parties seek a determination as to whether I should grant any relief
pursuant to Article 2 of the collective agreement in two cost centres -- 581 Q (Hairstyling) and
581C (Culinary Management and Cook Training). Article 2 requires the College to give preference
to full time employees over partial load and/or sessional employees, subject to operational
requirements.
Having regard to the representations of the parties, it is my determination, based on the
unique circumstances of this case that exist at this time, that the College is directed to establish
two additional full time positions in cost centre 581Q (one to start in Winter 2018 and the other
in Fall 2018) and one additional full time position in cost centre 581C (to start in Fall 2018). It is
further my determination that any remaining hours beyond those filled by full time employees
or to be filled by the new full time positions, are properly staffed by the College in accordance
with its operational requirements.
Any dispute between the parties over the classification of the full time positions
established by this Order may be dealt with by a fresh grievance. Subject to the foregoing, I
remain seized to deal with any difficulties that the parties may have in the implementation of
this award.
Dated at Ottawa, Ontario, this 271h day of September, 2017.
