In 1995, Mike Harris rewrote the Crown Employees Collective Bargaining Act (CECBA). He took away OPS employees’ right to send classification grievances to arbitration. So far, the McGuinty Liberals have not given that right back. Arbitration is central to the grievance process. Without it, there is no way to settle grievances based on their merits, if the employer and the union can’t agree. That is why the classification grievance backlog grew into the thousands.
In the Ontario Public Service, OPSEU members' job classifications - and our pay - are hopelessly out of date. That's why there are more than 8,000 outstanding classification grievances. Mediation has failed to fix the problem. The McGuinty government must change the Crown Employees Collective Bargaining Act and restore the right to arbitration for classification grievances.
