Employee transition update - Assiniboine Park Conservancy
July 16, 2010 at 11:48 PM
The Joint Union/City/Conservancy Management Committee finalized the Employee Transition Agreement (ETA) which outlines the conditions and terms of the transfer of employees of the Community Services Department to the Assiniboine Park Conservancy planned for October 1. A separate process for the transfer of staff and operations from the Parks and Open Space Division planned for January 1, 2012, will occur in 2011.
In late July, employees working at the Assiniboine Park Conservatory and Zoo were provided a letter of offer asking them to identify whether they wish to remain with the City or transfer to the Assiniboine Park Conservancy. The results of this process indicate that a majority of members have elected to transfer to the Assiniboine Park Conservancy.
In the coming months, the Joint Union/City/Conservancy Management Committee will continue to meet to discuss the next steps in the process leading up to the October 1, 2010 transfer date. Staff meetings will also be scheduled during this time.
The Local will also be scheduling meetings with the membership to discuss upcoming contract negotiations with the Assiniboine Park Conservancy in the early fall.
Please watch your bulletin boards for further announcements and updates.
In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact the Local 500 office at 942-1001 if you have any questions or concerns.
