Job security is priority as hard bargaining begins As this bulletin goes to press, your elected negotiating teams are in hot pursuit of collective agree- ments for the Ontario Public Ser- vice. Progress at the table is slow. Ontario politicians are heading for the election. And foot -dragging at the bargaining table is their fa- voured dance step. Eight months have passed since negotiations opened. Your bargain- ing teams have spent long hours working on essential services agreements, some of which are largely completed. Now it's time the employer got down to hard bargaining. You can help. OPSEU negotiat- ing teams need your active involve- ment. Membership support for is- sues discussed at the table can make a huge difference. By stand- ing together, we can force the gov- ernment to get moving in negotia- tions. What's going on at the bargain- ing table? Here's the story: Central Team The Central Team negotiates OPS -wide issues. It tabled its full position with the employer April 20. In mid-May, the Central Team explained the priorities that you, the membership, set in demand - setting meetings. The union put for- ward fivepriority issue areas (listed in no particular order): • Maintain and expand the rights in our collective agreement • Justice and equality for all OPS workers • Job Security and Employment Stability • Improvements to ring in the post -Social Contract era • Pensions ••• Other issues in our full position remain on the table. The highlights are: Maintain and expand rights in our collective agreement. The rights that members have un- der the old collective agreement and under the old Crown Employ- ees Collective Bargaining Act must be written into the new contract to bring them into line with the new Act. This includes the grievance procedure, union dues arrange ments and the cost -of -living clause. Justice and Equality All employees deserve equal pro- tection from harassment and unfair treatment in the workplace. Bar- riers to equity must be eliminated. Roughly 30 percent of OPS workers who are not classified must receive all rights and entitle- ments under the collective agree- ment. And this includes improve coverage for part-timers, students, GO -Temps and all other non- classified workers. Job Security and Employment Stability With Ontario political leaders threatening massive layoffs, the un- ion's focus is absolutely clear. We need measures in place to maintain and strengthen the job security sys- tem. The system has worked well so far, but it could easily get overload- ed. We wafirfo protect against the effects of restructuring and techno- logical change and to protect against contracting out, privatiza- tion, relocation and divestment. We also need expanded training oppor- tunities, with full union and em- ployee participation. Substantive Improvements When the Social Contract hit our negotiated collective agreement, we all lost big time. It is not time to fight to regain our collective agree- ment rights cut off by the Social Contract. We can obtain this in a collective agreement that goes be- yond March 31, 1996. Pensions Major restructuring is high on the employer's agenda - no matter who forms the next government. But -no employer has the right to send long-standing, hard-working em- ployees packing without engaging in meaningful negotiations. Creative solutions must be ex- plored. Better early retirement op- portunities and reduction in work time without loss in pay must be looked at. Some bargaining unit teams want to negotiate to reduce the stress caused by shift work and direct care delivery. Bargaining unit tables All bargaining unit teams have also tabled lists of demands with the employer, highlighting the pri- orities you decided in demand - setting. Adnrinistrative Unit Priorities include hours of work, shift schedules and scheduling of overtime, training and professional development issues, and technolog- ical change. Correctional Unit Pivotal issues include hours of work, training and development, impact of overcrowding and high caseloads and adequate assign- ments for community escorts. Institutional and Health Care Unit Key issues include training and development, shift schedules, pen- sions and reduction in hours of work with no loss in pay. Office Administration !brit Major concerns include tempo- rary assignments, hours of work, training and development and tech- nological change. Operational and Maintenance Unit Key issues include hours of work, temporary assignments, over- time, training and development and work reorganization. Technical Unit Priority issues include training and development, work schedules, kilometric rates, reduction of work time and specific monetary meas- ures for low income workers. The Road Ahead As you read this information, pressure is being brought to bear on the government. We need support from you to increase the pressure so they will negotiate a fair deal with us on our collective agree- ment. The message to the govern- ment is strong and clear: Speed up the process and get down to hard bargaining. We will report to you again soon on how you can be involved to sup- port your bargaining teams.
