- The Public Service Labour Relations Board (The Board) ordered us to stop dealing with new files and turn our attention to the 163 files that were referred to the Board (the order was dated April 30, 2014). 75 of these files belonged to UNE and 88 belonged to UCTE.
- We have dealt with and closed 65 of the 75 files that belong to our component over the last 11 months.
- We have also dealt with and closed over 1636 files related to this project overall (since 2006 – the date grievances began to be referred to UNE).
- Most recently, Bill C4 eliminated the PSLRB and created the new PSLREB (December 2014). The latter does not subscribe nor recognize the expedited process we have been using since November 2010. There are talks occurring with the Parks Canada, PSAC, UNE and UCTE regarding the Board’s position (outlined in a letter to all parties on January 22, 2015). To date, there have been no decisions made by the PSLREB so we don’t know how the PSLREB will process files.
