Related to Board Representation and Committee
REPRESENTATION AND COMMITTEES (The following clauses will appear in all collective agreements replacing any provisions related to Representation and Committees (including Professional Responsibility) that existed in the Hospital's expiring collective agreement:)
UNION REPRESENTATION AND COMMITTEES (a) It is mutually agreed that where negotiations are conducted on a joint basis between any or all of the Nursing Homes in the Extendicare chain in the Province of Ontario, the Union will elect or otherwise select a negotiating committee consisting of one (1) representative from each Nursing Home. (b) If negotiations are carried on individually for any or all of the Nursing Homes in the Extendicare chain in the Province of Ontario, it is agreed that the Union will elect or otherwise select a negotiating committee consisting of up to two (2) employees from the full-time bargaining unit, and two (2) employees from the part-time bargaining unit, one (1) of which shall be the Union Chairperson. (c) All members of the committee shall be regular employees of the Employer who have completed their probationary period. (d) The Nursing Home members of the Committee will be paid by the Employer for time used during normally scheduled working hours in negotiation of this Agreement or its successor including all conciliation proceedings but excluding any Arbitration proceedings. Employees on the evening and night shift shall receive paid time off for the actual day of the negotiating meeting. (e) Where the parties participate in group bargaining, the Employer agrees to provide alternative days off in the case where an employee is bargaining on a day off. In the case of a part time employee such alternative days will be capped at two per calendar week. These bargaining days will be treated as days worked for which the employee will receive pay for the hours she would have regularly worked. 7.02 The Employer will recognize a Union Administrative Committee which shall consist of a Union Chairperson and up to three (3) additional committee persons from each bargaining unit, all selected from the members of their respective bargaining units. No more than two (2) committee members shall meet with the Employer at any one time. The Employer shall be advised of the names of members of this committee and shall be notified of any changes from time to time. All members of the committee shall be employees of the Employer who have completed their probationary period. (a) The Union acknowledges that the members of the Union Administrative Committee must continue to perform their regular duties, and that so far as possible all activities of the committee will be carried on outside the regular working hours of the members thereof, unless otherwise mutually arranged. (b) Notwithstanding the above, the Employer agrees that requested time off during working hours for Union Administrative activities will not be arbitrarily withheld. (c) The Employer shall pay representatives and Committee members their respective wages for all time lost from regularly scheduled hours investigating and/or processing grievances, up to but not including the arbitration stage.
Board Representation (a) For as long as JD holds no less than twelve and half percent (12.5%) of the then issued and outstanding share capital of the Company, on a fully diluted basis, JD shall be entitled to designate one (1) director to the Board (such director, or such other individual who may be designated by JD from time to time, the “JD Director”), and the Company shall promptly cause the appointment or election of such JD Director to the Board, including, convening a meeting of the Board pursuant to the Memorandum and Articles and appointing such JD Director to the Board, and in the case of an election, (i) nominating such individual to be elected as a director as provided herein, (ii) recommending to the Shareholders the election of such JD Director to the Board in any meeting of Shareholders to elect directors, including soliciting proxies in favor of the election of the JD Director, (iii) including such nomination and recommendation regarding such individual in the Company’s notice for any meeting of Shareholders to elect directors, and (iv) if necessary, expanding the size of the Board in order to appoint the JD Director. (b) In the event of the death, disability, retirement or resignation of the JD Director (or any other vacancy created by removal thereof), JD shall have the exclusive right to designate a replacement to fill such vacancy and serve on the Board, and the Company shall promptly cause the appointment or election of such individual to the Board (who shall, following such appointment or election, be the JD Director for purposes of this Agreement). (c) At any meeting of the Board or any annual general or other meeting of the Shareholders that may be held from time to time at which the JD Director is up for re-appointment to the Board, the Company shall cause the Board to re-appoint the JD Director to serve on the Board and shall use best efforts to ensure that the JD Director is re-appointed by the Shareholders to the Board pursuant to the terms of the Memorandum and Articles and any Applicable Law. The Company agrees that it shall not take any action, in favor of the removal of the JD Director unless such removal shall be for Cause. Removal for “Cause” shall mean removal of a director because of such director’s (i) willful misconduct that is materially injurious, monetarily or otherwise, to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) conviction for, or guilty plea to, a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude, or (iii) abuse of illegal drugs or other controlled substances or habitual intoxication.
Union and Employer Representation No employee or group of employees shall undertake to represent the Union at meetings with the Employer without the proper authorization of the Union. To implement this the Union shall supply the Employer with the names of its officers and similarly, the Employer shall supply the Union with a list of its supervisory or other personnel with whom the Union may be required to transact business.
Referral to the Committee a) Prior to referral to the Committee, the matter must be brought to the attention of the other local party. b) A central party shall refer the grievance forthwith to the CDRC by written notice to the other central party, with a copy to the Crown, but in no case later than 40 days after becoming aware of the dispute. c) The Committee shall complete its review within 10 days of the grievance being filed. d) If the grievance is not settled, withdrawn, or referred to the local grievance procedure by the Committee, the central party who has filed the grievance may, within a further 10 days, refer the grievance to arbitration. e) All timelines may be extended by mutual consent of the parties.
