Dear members. Thank you to those who responded to the request for feedback on the proposed return to the 08:00 - 16:30 schedule. There were very few questions or concerns raised on this issue. Responses addressed advantages and disadvantages for both options, primarily concerning childcare issues either at the start of the day or at the end of the day.

Management has confirmed that it will “work to mitigate individual issues related to the reversion to our normal start time” on a “case-by-case” basis. We remind members of their right to request accommodation and the employer’s duty to accommodate on human rights grounds, which includes family status.

Consequently, the CMCFA will support its colleagues in the kitchen and athletics and agree to management’s proposal.

Please reach out to me at leblanc@cmcfa-apcmc.ca with any further questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Sylvain Leblanc

CMCFA Representative to Labour-Management Consultation Committee
