Bargaining Unit Defined. The Bargaining Unit shall consist of all Employees covered by the Certificate of Bargaining issued by the Labour Relations Board except those persons employed in a managerial or confidential capacity. The Parties recognize that referral to the legislated authority is the ultimate step to resolve a dispute and that the Parties will make every attempt to freely and fully negotiate the matter of exclusions and to resolve the issues as expeditiously as possible. Where the Employer seeks to exclude a position, representation shall be made to the Union in writing. Where agreement is not reached within fourteen (14) days of receipt of initial representation, the matter shall be submitted to the legislated authority for adjudication. The Employer shall make every attempt to provide time prior to making an appointment for the process outlined above to be completed. Where it becomes necessary to fill a new position in dispute the incumbent will not be considered in the unit until determination is made by the legislated authority. Established or upgraded positions in the Bargaining Unit shall not be excluded except by mutual agreement or a decision of the legislated authority.*1
