RAISE AN ISSUE
What would life be without problems? Idyllic… But “real life” is strewn with problems, often small, sometimes big. When it comes to labor relations, managing our issues is the daily business of your union. Between periods of negotiating our employment contract, a good part of union work is ensuring compliance with our collective agreement and intervening to remind and denounce delinquencies.
So, if you have a problem, the first step is to report it. You will also find on this page the information sheet that we invite you to fill out in such a case. We also invite you to quickly speak to your delegate. If the problem raised concerns non-compliance with our agreement, we have 45 calendar days to report it to the employer. So there is no time to lose. You will find in section 7 of the collective agreement the provisions concerning disputes and grievances.
You can also have a problem with the union; no one is perfect. There is also a section in our statutes and regulations concerning the complaints that a member can file and the procedure to follow. You will find on this page a link to our statutes and regulations.
Rest assured though, the officers of the union mainly deal with disputes and grievances involving the employer, and very rarely complaints against the union.
Once the report form is submitted, you and the STTRC will receive a copy by email.
