Temporary YWG ATOS
Question arose regarding YWG hiring term ATOS
Career Development Leave with Pay, someone is (or is going to) train. Need to backfill for that person.
Is it open to transfer? Not sure, probably not due to relocation. Any permanent position subsequently will be
Reimbursement of Expenses
Not really the issue, the issue is Rep Funds
Normally all Rep funds are paid at the same time which is easier to track
Rep funds are paid once the unit expenses are submitted
Some units are submitting in a timely fashion and feel penalized having to wait for the others to submit
Also an issue as we currently only have 2 authorized to sign checks
*Shawn and Michelle will review these processes and suggest alternatives
YQX VP Vacancy
Mid December Sam resigned
An election call went out
There were nominees but no one accepted their nomination
Subsequently one of the nominees has expressed interest
Will issue a second call in hopes of filling the position locally
*Christine to contact Scott
Karen Hudson Seniority
Issue is now being challenged by Karen (as opposed to a co-worker)
Karen provided additional documentation about the move of the group from PSAC to 1016 (CAOSS when the process began)
This documentation was provided to the LUEB in advance of the teleconference for review
While some feel the additional documentation doesn’t change their original positions and may even strengthen their argument, some feel that Karen hasn’t been afforded the same opportunities as other challengers
Karen will be invited to an LUEB to present her argument
David Ready will also be invited as he appears (from the documentation) to have had involvement as her Rep at the time and may be able to provide further insight
Concerns from the regions
YVR
ATOS trainees not given simulation and sent to the floor
Management determines what “appropriate” training is
We ensure trainees are provided every opportunity in the event of possible CT
YQM
AFTN Confirmed Users
Users put flight plan into the system and errors error back to the user not ATOS
Concerned they are being provided with ATOS “cheat sheets” to ensure their flight plans get into the system
Concern that this looks like contracting out and will result in job loss
*Shawn will investigate further
