BTS VSP

The provincial elections will be held on Thursday, June 7. With respect to the Ontario Elections Act, all employees are entitled to 3 consecutive hours to cast their vote on polling day, between the voting hours of 9:00 am and 9:00 pm.

All technicians who are scheduled to work on June 7 on a 7:30-6:30 shift, 8-7 shift, 10-7 shift or a 10-9 shift will be sent a text message to inquire if they want time off to vote. Anyone who responds “yes” will have their schedule modified accordingly.

All other employees should request the time off from their immediate Manager. Their Manager will ensure they are paid accordingly as required. Time will be coded as POP.

Island Days for RFT Employees

There have disputes between Unifor and BTS as to how an RFT Employee under the New CBA shall be scheduled in particular to Article 16.02.

If you have Island days as a RFT employee please speak with a Steward.

Please reference the memo to all members from Unifor National below

In the coming days the National Union will be providing a Q&A for all Employees covered under the new CBA to address any concerns. Once the Local receives the document it will be communicated to all members.
