That’s it!
In a few weeks, another school year will draw to an end...a year full of big and small successes. In this satisfied
state of mind, you will soon be able to begin your vacation...a well deserved rest.
Enjoy each moment to gain back the energy level needed for next year while taking time for yourself…We’re
looking forward to the fall where we will once again write another lovely chapter in your career in the field of
education.
Have a great summer!
Janine Hould,
President

Vacation…finally!
It’s what many of us will say on June 25th. We need a little sun to
get our required dose of Vitamin D in order to come back rested and
tanned in the fall. I hope you have a great time with family and
friends. Maybe we’ll run into each other at the dairy bar…
Monica Chiasson,
Vice-president
The consultations by sector are now
completed. Thank you for your
participation. Your priorities have
been sent to our negotiation teams
who are working on our final
demands. These will be presented
to us in September so that we may
give them to the government in late
October.
As for inter-sector consultations,
concerning mainly demands related
to salary, there has been a Common
Front agreement that will be
presented to you this fall for your
approval. Everything should be
finalized for
September 15.
L’école a besoin de soutien!
The appreciation
campaign for school
support staff has begun.

Support staff grievances
When the concerned parties do not agree on the interpretation
of the collective agreement or any other matter concerning
work relations, the employee and/or the union can lodge a
grievance with the employer within 90 days of the event that
is the basis of the complaint.
The employer then has 20 working days to give a written
response to the union. Once this delay has expired, if the
answer was unsatisfactory or if there was no reply from the
employer, the union has 30 work days to submit a grievance
to arbitration. The Bailiff declares having received the
grievance and sends a copy to the union.
Once these procedures have run their course, the grievance
becomes official. The union or the employer can request that
the grievance be heard by an arbitrator. It must be noted that
not all grievances will be necessarily heard by an arbitrator.
For the 2013-2014 school year
(17) grievances have been deposited for arbitration
5 related to the abolition of posts
1 for declaration of posts in direct services to
students
2 for the Interior Gross Product clause
5 for disciplinary measures
2 for refusal if Invalid Status
1 for intimidation
1 for claim of tenure
(this grievance was settled before being heard
by an arbitrator)
I take this opportunity to wish you all a nice summer
and hope that you will take this time to get revitalized.
Looking forward to meeting you next fall!

Support staff councillor

Don’t fight with stupid people,
they’ll drag you down to their
