Internships The Hospital may establish internships for the purpose of meeting future projected nursing shortages and/or providing career opportunities where there are no internal qualified candidates for job postings. In such circumstances, the implementation and guidelines of such an arrangement will be determined locally by the Hospital and the Union subject to the following: Internships are designed to develop the Hospital’s staff in order to fill positions for which there are currently no qualified internal candidates and/or for which shortages are predicted within a five (5) year period.

(f) Part-time nurses will be credited with seniority and service for all such hours paid while participating in these initiatives as provided above.

Women’s Advocate The Parties recognize that Employees may sometimes need to discuss matters such as violence or abuse at home or workplace harassment and may feel more comfortable doing so with a female peer. They may also need to learn about specialized resources in the community, such as counsellors or women’s shelters, to assist them in dealing with any issues that may arise. For these reasons, the Parties agree to recognize that the role of Women’s Advocate in the workplace will be served by a Unifor Local 5555 female member selected by Unifor. The Women’s Advocate will meet with Employees as required to discuss problems and refer them to the appropriate agency when necessary. The Women’s Advocate will participate in an annual 3-day training conference in accordance with Article 28.01(a). The Women’s Advocate shall be given release from their regular duties as required without loss of regular pay and benefits. The amount of time required for release and the cost allocations are subject to review and agreement by the Employer and the Union. On or before December 1 of each year, Unifor will provide a detailed report to the University’s Management Liaison to the Women’s Advocate, accounting for the specific activities of the Women’s Advocate over the previous 12 months, including: i. the total number of Employees they have assisted; ii. the specific dates and times for which they have been granted release time as the Women’s Advocate; iii. an aggregate summary of the matters they have handled; and iv. an aggregate summary of the referrals they have made.

New Job Classifications When a new classification (which is covered by the terms of this collective agreement) is established by the Hospital, the Hospital shall determine the rate of pay for such new classification and notify the local Union of the same. If the local Union challenges the rate, it shall have the right to request a meeting with the Hospital to endeavour to negotiate a mutually satisfactory rate. Such request will be made within ten (10) days after the receipt of notice from the Hospital of such new occupational classification and rate. Any change mutually agreed to resulting from such meeting shall be retroactive to the date that notice of the new rate was given by the Hospital. If the parties are unable to agree, the dispute concerning the new rate may be submitted to arbitration as provided in the agreement within fifteen (15) days of such meeting. The decision of the arbitrator (or board of arbitration as the case may be) shall be based on the relationship established by comparison with the rates for other classifications in the bargaining unit having regard to the requirements of such classification. When the Hospital makes a substantial change in the job content of an existing classification which in reality causes such classification to become a new classification, the Hospital agrees to meet with the Union if requested to permit the Union to make representation with respect to the appropriate rate of pay. If the matter is not resolved following the meeting with the Union, the matter may be referred to arbitration as provided in the agreement within fifteen (15) days of such meeting. The decision of the arbitrator (or board of arbitration as the case may be) shall be based on the relationship established by comparison with the rates for other classifications in the bargaining unit having regard to the requirements of such classifications. The parties further agree that any change mutually agreed to or awarded as a result of arbitration shall be retroactive only to the date that the Union raised the issue with the Hospital. The parties further agree that the above process as provided herein shall constitute the process for Pay Equity Maintenance as required by the Pay Equity Act.
