HEARING November 23, 1998
The partIes have agreed to consolIdate ten mdIvIdual gnevances WhICh pose
an IdentIcal Issue about entItlement to a ment mcrease m the summer of
1993 The gnevors are Andy VIsneckIe, Bnan Stufko, DavId SmIth, Grant
SmIth, Doug McConnell, V mcent Csunyocka, Darrell Reynolds, KIrby Punt,
Dave Peters and Wayne Kouffeldt.
The dIspute centres upon what annIversary date should have been
applIed for the purpose of determmmg ment entItlement. The employer used
an annIversary date of July 1 Based upon thIS date, ment mcreases were
demed pursuant to paragraph 7 5 of the sectoral framework agreement
whIch was negotIated agamst the backdrop of the Social Contract Act
Paragraph 7 5 states
No ment mcrease, movement m salary step, progress through the
range of salary gnd shall be granted for three years from June 14,
1998 There wIll be no servIce catch up for ment mcrease or gnd
movement purposes after the expIry of the SOCIal contract.
The umon contends the employer should have used an anmversary date
fallmg before June 14
As thIS matter was adjudIcated as part of the backlog, I was asked to
render a wntten deCISIOn WIthout reasons The partIes agreed my deCISIOn
would be WIthout precedent or prejUdICe m other cases Bnef oral reasons
were gIven at the hearmg. I concluded the employer had used the correct
anmversary date and I dIsmIssed the gnevance
