Transition of employees to Assiniboine Park Conservancy (APC)
July 08, 2010 at 12:11 AM
A Joint Union/City/Conservancy Management Committee has been meeting to work on the processes, questions and agreements for 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.
To date, a number of workplace bulletin updates have been sent out and employee information sessions held. Three more employee information sessions are scheduled for July and a Joint Committee meeting will follow to finalize the Transition Agreement.
The Union wants to assure our members that Local 500 has successor rights and the Collective Agreement, and its terms and conditions, will transfer to APC and remain in place until such time as it is renegotiated.
The Local will continue to provide more information as it becomes available. Please watch your bulletin boards for further announcements and updates.
