Implementation of the New Collective Agreement Provisions

We are pleased to announce that the new collective agreement was signed on June 2, 2011 and we are now in the process of ensuring that all provisions of this new agreement are implemented. First and foremost, a Labour Relations Committee (LRC) has been formed and its primary mandate is to ensure that all processes within the new collective agreement are applied. The LRC is a forum for discussing any changes in the business that could affect the workforce and it is committed to jointly communicate outcomes derived from this committee.

The LRC will meet face to face every two months and is formed by equal members on behalf of both the Company and the Union as follows:

Don Fletcher, President - Local 42
James Fling, President - Local 34-0
Sam Snyders, President - Local 1996
Sean Howes, National Representative

Lindsay McKellar, Manager, Human Resources - Ontario
Bryan Morris, Associate Director, Human Resources - Ontario
Steve Coote, Regional Manager - 705 region
Greg Woodford - Regional Manager - Fibe TV

The LRC committee encourages you to take note of the following:

TO: BTS Locals

RE: Ratification Procedure

Sisters and Brothers,
Since April 13 the bargaining committee has been traveling the province with the goal of ensuring that every member of the bargaining unit has an opportunity to hear from the committee and to exercise their legal right to vote on the proposed new collective agreement.

In addition to local meetings, the committee felt that it was important that new employees who are still in training classes also have the opportunity to learn about the collective agreement, and to exercise their voting right.

Brothers and Sisters,

As your Elected representatives, we are mandated to follow decisions rendered by the National Caucus. Having said that, a decision was made by the Caucus to keep the specifics of all proposals confidential until we were assured of certain resolutions. We realize that many of your questions remain unanswered, but this Executive remains committed to open communication and dialogue with you. There have been many details of these discussions floating around by way of  reports...many of these are far from factual.

CEP Local Officers Review Proposed New Collective Agreement

On February 24th and 25th, the CEP bargaining committee met in caucus with CEP delegates from BTS local unions across Ontario to review a proposed replacement collective agreement.

The proposed collective agreement, which will have a term of May 6, 2011 to May 6, 2018, would replace the current collective agreement that is currently set to expire on May 6, 2014.

This unusual circumstance of mid-term negotiations was created by Bell Canada’s decision to invest heavily in the new IPTV (FibeTV) market in Ontario and Quebec, and their stated preference to give this work to BTS rather than to other non-union contractors.

BELL TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS - ONTARIO MEMBERSHIP REPORT

In September 2010, Bell announced that they would be sending the FTTH (Fibre to the Home) work to a third party contractor rather than BTS.

This was very bad news for everyone at BTS because, even though Fibre and IPTV may be a small part of our work today, it will grow dramatically over time.

Bell’s stated reason was that, while the service we provide Bell is top-notch, our scheduling restrictions will make it difficult for them to serve their future customers on the days and times they need us – increasingly on weekends.
