LABOUR RELATIONS ACT 1995
ONTARIO PUBLIC SERVICE EMPLOYEES UNION AND ITS LOCAL 472
- and -
COMMUNITY LIVING RENFREW COUNTY SOUTH
1. The parties have appointed me pursuant to s. 50 of the Labour Relations Act, 1995 to
determine a union policy grievance dated February 13, 2019 (OPSEU# 2019-0472-0006).
2. The dispute between the parties arises from their most recent round of bargaining for their
first renewal collective agreement, which was ratified January 29, 2019. That renewal
collective agreement has a term from April 1, 2018 to March 31, 2021.
3. The dispute centers on the wage grid rate for the overnight classification.
4. Due to this dispute, the parties have not yet been able to publish a final collective agreement.
5. Accordingly, I find that the following is a just and equitable outcome, and hereby order as
follows:
a. The wage rates for overnight workers as set out in Appendix A to this Award shall be
incorporated into to the wage grid at Schedule A of the renewal collective agreement
and thereby form part of the renewal collective agreement. For clarity, the overnight
rate shall remain part of the general wage grid at Schedule A of the renewal collective
agreement.
b. Effective June 27, 2019, the overnight workers' pay shall be adjusted to reflect the
2019 rate for that classification, and shall also receive the applicable increase as of
April 1, 2020, as set out in Appendix A. For clarity, there shall be no retroactive
monies paid as a result of this Award.
b. I remain seized to deal with any implementation issues that may arise from this order.
DATED AT MARKHAM, ONTARIO, THIS 24TH DAY OF JUNE, 2019.
