The Corporation has implemented a procedure in various regions that violates clause 10.03 of the collective agreement in cases where an employee wants to obtain access to medical information contained in his or her personal file. The procedure put in place by the Corporation violates clause 10.03 in that it does not allow employees to access their personal file within 24 hours and in the presence of an authorized union representative, nor during working hours.

On or about February 27, 2008, the Union was informed that the employer is implementing a policy/directive entitled “Managing Medical Certificates” by Manulife Financial. This policy/directive violates the provisions of the collective agreement, more specifically Article 10.

The employer is refusing to abide by many provisions of the collective agreement for the period of May 30, 2011 to June 27, 2011, in violation of the collective agreement extended as of February 1st, 2011 by the Act to provide for the resumption and continuation of postal services (Bill C-6). More specifically, and without limiting the generality of the above, the Corporation failed to apply Articles 4, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 17, 19, 20, 27, 30, 33, 39, 40, 46 and 48, based on information received by the Union. The employer is violating both the collective agreement and this legislation.
