In December, Arbitrator Flynn ruled on CUPW’s application over whether Personal Contact Items (PCI) that RSMCs deliver on the weekend season are pensionable and included in the pay equity agreement.
Arbitrator Flynn ruled on our historic pay equity win for RSMCs, and she retains jurisdiction on some matters of application and implementation of the award.
So when Canada Post Corporation decided it would not treat PCIs delivered on weekends by RSMCs during the 2019 peak season as pensionable pay and service, CUPW saw this as a breach of the award’s terms and took this before Arbitrator Flynn.
Our position was that all PCI deliveries were to be covered by the Memorandum of Agreement that implements the award.
