City of Toronto wins employment scheduling case
The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) local 79 filed a grievance after the City of Toronto failed to convert Paula Melville to full-time employment status. The union argued that Melville — a member of the recreational workers part-time bargaining unit — was entitled to employment under the full-time collective agreement. A memorandum of agreement between the union and employer creates a possible bridge, the union argued, that qualifies Melville for full-time employment.
