Good afternoon all
Members have been receiving letters from the compliance department regarding procedures to follow when marking off Personal Business. The language in the letter is contradictory to our agreement. The union has not signed or amended anything pertaining to this issue.
If a member marks off Personal Business, and is out of work for five (5) days or more the Carrier can request you provide them with information of why you’re out PB. Same goes for Marking Off sick and out of work for seven (7) or more days. A member does not have to do anything else and should only do it at the request of the Carrier.
The current letters should be rescinded.
Thanks
