Union Files Grievance Over End of Remote Work
This week the union filed a policy grievance in response to the government directive that ends remote work arrangements and forces civil servants back into traditional offices effective April 20th.
Since the directive was issued the union has received well over a thousand pieces of correspondence from impacted members. While not every individual inquiry has received a formal response, the union has collected all information for the purpose of the grievance and for any potential redress from the employer.
Any member who has concerns related to a medical or any other accommodation will receive contact from a staff member in the coming weeks to gather the necessary individual information.
The union thanks you for your response and asks for patience while staff do their best to reach out to impacted members.
Please continue to monitor your email for further updates.
