The provision or monitoring of services for passengers, customers, customers and tourists. This subgroup includes occupations such as hairdresser, caregiver, lifeguard, tailor, tailor and related facilitators. The negotiator proposes to extend the conditions and nature of the dirty work aid for the GL group to the cleaning of organic materials, chemical residues and pollutants of any quantity. According to the employer, there is no justification for the proposed amendment. The LI and SC groups have specific provisions in the collective agreement to compensate for the duty of child care: the employer proposes to make the same improvements or equivalent improvements for the members of the SV bargaining unit, which would provide for a fair and reasonable collective agreement. The evidence presented in this letter does not indicate that the SV group will obtain more than the model established in the 34 agreements reached during this round of negotiations. This amendment would go beyond the provisions of other CPA collective agreements without justification, as there is no evidence that the current working hours and weekly hours of work contained in the SV agreement do not work. This subgroup includes occupations such as bus driver, driver, crane operator, shovel driver, tractor driver and truck driver. Accordingly, the parties agree to carry out, during the duration of the agreement, a comparative study on the comparability of compensations for all classifications of the SV group. The evidence of recruitment and commitment strongly indicates that the compensation levels of the SV group are appropriate to attract and maintain a sufficient number of employees. There is no indication that increases above the model established to date for the federal public service with represented employees are necessary to recruit and retain staff within the OAS group.
