MOTION to adopt the minutes from the 2016 Regional Council by Al Dunbar (Edmonton)

SECONDED by Sarb Lail (Calgary)

The Chair queried members if there was any discussion or business arising from the minutes.

A delegate came forward to state that they feel that there was a great improvement in the content of the minutes. They feel that the minutes may be “too good”. The content of minutes should generally be a record of all actions and proceedings, but not a record of discussion. The delegate feels previous minutes have a considerable amount of discussion, and it may be easier for whoever prepares the minutes to have less content.

The delegate notes that on page 12, “Resolutions from the Floor” 12.1.2, a resolution he proposed, he doesn’t recall there being a tie vote and the chair did not have to rule on the resolution.

The Chair mentioned that sometimes when things are transcribed, they are typed verbatim from the recording. But it should be a higher level so that the minutes don’t get into the minutia of the actual conversations. The Chair thanked the delegate for bringing that forward and that the executive would clarify that.

MOTION CARRIED

8. Business Arising from the Minutes
The Chair asked the delegates for any business arising from the 2016 minutes.

Nancy McCune notes that there was a report about the Regional Comparison for Executive and Councils missed at the previous Council, and that has been added to the agenda for this year’s Council.

9. Reports on Regional Activities

9.1 Prairie/NWT Stewards Council - Nancy McCune, Regional Director

A written report was submitted and also posted on the Virtual Binder. Nancy McCune, Regional Director presented her report.

The Chair asked attendees for any questions. There were none

9.2 Prairie/NWT Training - Kieth Laing, Chair

A written report was submitted and also posted on the Virtual Binder. Kieth Laing, Training Committee Chair presented his report and recognized Robert Trudeau, Nancy McCune, Bobby Eiswirth and Sharon Losinski as other Training Committee members.

The Chair asked attendees for any questions.

Sharon Losinski wanted to let delegates know that the E Learning program with PIPSC is for any members. There are courses on bullying and harassment and performance management on it. Also those who take and complete training are entered into a draw that occurs yearly.

QUESTION - Is it possible for Lunch and Learn sessions to be recorded and uploaded so that when members have time they can listen to the recordings?

ANSWER - K. Laing - This wouldn’t happen until after the chairperson takes the finalized discussion versions to the training committee and then the BOD.

QUESTION - A delegate received a number of comments from stewards after Labour School from long time stewards who are no longer eligible to attend Labour School because they have taken all the courses, is there any plan to provide some kind of advanced training on different topics.

ANSWER - K. Laing - There is discussion about more of a continuum model so that there is more advanced training available. People are encouraged to take refresher training or new training that they see come up, but you may not be eligible based on when you had previously been trained on a topic.

QUESTION - A delegate was a consultation president for approximately 6 years, and during that time there was a lot of talk about the idea of developing from within EROs through some kind of training, but the idea seems to have died off, and would like to see PIPSC reconsider that.

ANSWER - K. Laing - Please send ideas like this to the regional training committee or the National Training and Education Committee.

10. Featured Presentations

10.1 PIPSC Guest Speaker - Sheri Benson, MP Saskatoon West (NDP)

Nancy McCune introduced Sheri Benson, the NDP MP for Saskatoon, who is also the Labour Critic at Parliament. Ms. Benson spoke on some issues currently before Parliament, as well as answered some questions from delegates.

10.2 Carole Casey - Joint Learning Program

Nancy McCune introduced Carole Casey, the Prairie Region Field Coordinator for the Joint Learning Program. Ms. Casey spoke regarding the Joint Learning Program as well as answered some questions from delegates.

11. Prairie/NWT Regional Executive Reports

11.1 Regional Directors Report - Nancy McCune, Regional Director

A written report was presented by Nancy McCune (Regional Director).

The Chair asked attendees for any questions.

QUESTION - In the report there is mention of some Indigenous issues that the Director didn’t have the time to manage, could it be brought to the board that the union could take one or two of the issues forward?

ANSWER - N. McCune - Right now they’re allowing the Canada Labour Congress to deal with those types of broader issues, but it can be brought up at the board to see if that’s something that maybe one of the vice presidents wants to take on.

QUESTION - If someone is attempting to be elected or re-elected to a position, if they have a complaint lodged against them, are they still eligible to run for the position?

ANSWER - R. Trudeau - There is nothing that prevents that, as a complaint is simply and allegation, not proven.
N. McCune - When someone launches a complaint through the dispute resolution process in the bylaws, if the complaint is founded, one of the possible outcomes could be that they are not eligible to run for an elected position for a certain period of time.

QUESTION - The board preaches that conflicts should be dealt with at the lowest level possible, however then they utilize membership fees on legal fees and they themselves cannot manage conflict at a low level. How accountable are they to their members when they do whatever they are doing, and how can we hold them accountable?

ANSWER - N. McCune - This is a tricky area, but the only real way to hold them accountable is through the election process.

11.2 Regional Secretary/Treasurer’s Report - Stuart Kidd, Secretary-Treasurer

Stuart Kidd presented the written Secretary/Treasurer’s report, accounting synoptic, Prairie Regional income statement, Cash Flow and 2017 Budget. Copies were provided to attendees

The chair asked attendees for any questions

QUESTION - Under expenses on the budget, there is a line for CLC Training, it was thought that the expenses incurred should be at the national level, did PIPSC change anything at the AGM that passes the expenditures on to the Regional level?

ANSWER - S. Kidd - I don’t’ believe so. The budget was looking at the financial states of the national PIPSC, and the decision was made to send an additional observer to the CLC this year, which is that item line. The regional executive elected to send an observer, thus picks up the cost. The cost of the Regional Director attending is covered by PIPSC national.

ANSWER - N. McCune - This doesn’t have anything to do with the CLC affiliation, this item line is for the convention which happens every 3 years, which is outside of that national affiliation. For the convention, we elected to send an observer for the region and approved a budget for the expense.

QUESTION - Northern Manitoba hospitality line, what is it and why is it not something other Branches have?

ANSWER - S. Kidd - Because they asked for it because the Northern Manitoba Branch is geographically broad, and they utilize it for gifts for stewards since they cannot physically get together.

QUESTION - What type of visibility items the Prairie Regional Executive had in mind to purchase?

ANSWER - S. Kidd - We purchased t-shirts, carryon bags with the regional logos, flags and banners

QUESTION - Could you clarify why there is such an increase in the expenses from the 2016 PRC to the 2017 PRC?

ANSWER - N. McCune - We did some executive training in 2017 and allowed every Branch to have 2 spots in the training and allowed the extra person from the small branches who attended training to stay over as an observer for the PRC.

QUESTION - Union dues that are not collected from members due to Phoenix issues, we aren’t getting that money in, so does that impact our allotment?

ANSWER - R. Trudeau - PIPSC allocates the money to the Region and it’s their duty to collect the funds from the top, so we don’t worry about cash flow issues resulting from Phoenix issues.

QUESTION - Is the decrease in the allotment from PIPSC a reduction in members?

ANSWER - S. Kidd - No that is the 1.5 cap. Due to the amount of the Regional account balance at the end of 2016, we lost a portion of our allotment.

Resolution #1

Motion by Brian Bell

Seconded by Bonnie Pratt

CREATE SUBCOMMITTEE TO STUDY AND REPORT ON THE PROCESS OF ASSIGNING MEMBERS TO THE PRAIRIE/NWT REGIONAL EXECUTIVE

QUESTION - Is it known how other regions handle additional delegate or observer spots?

15. Other Reports

15.1 Regional Representation - Grace Chychul, Manager PIPSC Prairie/NWT Office

Grace Chychul presented her report on the activities of the Regional Staff.

Al Dunbar had been working in the Edmonton office on a term position to assists with the volume of work that regional staff had been facing. There is an obvious increase in workload due to issues with Phoenix. At the time of this report, there were 634 cases being tracked by PIPSC, of those 191 are listed as critical which are cases where financial distress is high. Within our region, we have 145 active cases of which 71 are critical. There have been 203 cases resolved to date. Members ask what the precipice for resolving cases is, but it’s difficult to tell because we intervene, MPs intervene, grievances are filed or just by chance Phoenix finally caught up. There is no way to know what actually triggered the resolution. If you were involved in any of the cases, we receive reports weekly on the status of the pay cases.

Another thing that we have noticed in our offices is that we continue to have a substantial number of cases requiring the involvement of 2 EROs to ensure proper representation. These include some form of harassment or complaint where both people are members and they each require representation.

Pay continues to dominate the regional staff’s activities. For those who are in Edmonton, there are currently 10 cases scheduled for adjudication in Edmonton in July. If you live in Edmonton and have an interest in sitting in for a bit and watching, it is open for the public. Please contact our Edmonton office and let us know and we will tell you where and when. Kris Hawkins is the lead on this case, and from what we can tell these are some of the first to hit the adjudication stage. Questions have been asked about why these adjudications are not being handled by the legal department in Ottawa. The feeling is that when they do a case that has compelling facts, such as cases of no pay, resources will be invested there and attempting to make a larger splash.

We have also had an increase in termination during probation cases, with there being 4 active cases. We are having an increase in fitness to work assessments, which is requiring a higher level of representation. We also are seeing more cases of discipline associated with fitness to work assessments.

Vance has several files at various levels with CRA regarding harassment as well, there have been a significant amount of performance and disciplinary issues within CRA. Of note, there is one that involves several members being accused of circumventing a language test, which is working its way through. He also has a Public Service Staffing Tribunal (PSST) case.

Jeff has noted as well, an increase in Duty to Accommodate at CRA, along with requests to telework as a result. An example would be someone with severe allergies and symptoms where they have a building that’s making them sick, sometimes they will allow telework as they work through that issue. It’s rarely cut and dry. There is a lot of workplace harassment cases at PHAC that are requiring a large investment of time, as well as Health Canada is showing an increase in disciplinary cases and NJC travel related concerns.

Sean recently represented a member at the PSST and we are currently waiting for the outcome. He has also filed policy grievances at Deer Lodge Centre related to vacation scheduling. It should be noted that Sean is the lead in the Prairies representing our provincial groups MAGE and DLC with respect to the Manitoba Public Service Sustainability Act - Bill 28, which is very similar to some of the Acts the Harper Government tried to bring in restricting pay, negotiations and bargaining rights. He is also the lead on Manitoba Bill 29, which is the Health Sector Bargaining Review. In Manitoba, what the government is trying to do is to limit the number of bargaining agents and are attempting to legislate how people fit into bargaining groups and we are arguing that saying that these are people who made a democratic decision to choose a bargaining agent, and that right should be respected. This includes attending meetings with other unions, senior bureaucrats and he reports to the NCR on these issues with assistance from Legal and Negotiations.

Grace notes that the departments have shown an increase in discipline and fitness to work cases. We have recently been successful in having a workforce adjustment rolled back and a member brought back into an agency department, thereby reversing a layoff.

Kris recently represented a group of 4 nurses at a hearing that started in September and finished in February, which was an 8 day disciplinary case where the members were accused of giving medication without a doctor’s order. We feel very confident that the decision will be going our way. The employer’s position in that case was that because they cannot locate the paper that contained the order, the nurses must have made its existence up. The adjudicator did suggest on day 6 that we should negotiate a settlement, and the Treasury Board was not willing to negotiate.

Prashila and Bailey have noted that the Basic Steward Training for June is well underway and on track. On top of this, Bailey took the lead in the moving of the Winnipeg Office which is now complete.It should be noted that at least half of the furniture that was not moved to the new office was repurposed. We got in contact with the United Way who sent out a message to their organizations and items such as desks, chairs and boardroom tables were donated to a number of non-profit organizations.

We were approved for another ERO position in the Prairies, and the posting for that position is up now.

There have been several stewards who have been of great assistance with the Phoenix issues in the various departments. Their continued involvement is allowing EROs to work on the more complex cases and their assistance in getting information to members and completing first level grievances is a great help.

Grace continues to receive positive comments regarding the work being done by all of the staff in the Prairie office, and want to commend them on their work in the last year. It’s been a very difficult and trying year with a lot of work and they’ve stepped up to the plate.

The Chair called for questions.

QUESTIONS - Often as a new leader, you need help and you need it immediately and you cannot get in touch with your ERO, can you make some suggestions on how we can advocate for additional staff? Sometimes the stewards are panicked and cannot get in touch with an ERO.

ANSWER - G. Chychul - I have asked that staff respond to any emails or phone calls within 2 business days, I think that’s quite reasonable in most circumstances. If somebody is having an issue and cannot get a hold of someone in one of the offices, both Prashila and Bailey are aware of where everyone is, so if it’s really emergent, they have a way to contact EROs immediately. But it needs to be kept in mind that sometimes people consider things to be urgent because they’re on their plate at that moment, that doesn’t necessarily mean they are urgent.

15.2 National Financial Report - Sharon Losinski, Member of the Finance Committee

Sharon Losinski presented the Financial Report from PIPSC National that was approved by the Board of Directors. 

The chair asked attendees for questions.

QUESTION - What makes up the prepaid expenses? And what accounts for the decrease in public relations expenses?

ANSWER - S. Losinski - Unsure about what makes up the prepaid expenses. The public relations expenses decrease is likely due to there being no elections currently.
