Be it resolved that FULL TIME HEALTH AND SAFETY OFFICER and GRIEVANCE OFFICER be converted into two part time HEALTH AND SAFETY OFFICERS, and two part time GRIEVANCE OFFICERS.
Where as the Edmonton Local is searching to find ways to save finances
Where as creating four part time positions would save money on benefits ($1580/month), Vacation Pay, Stat Holiday, Shift Premium ($5824/year both positions)
Where as this would help with full timer officer burnout and overburdening.
Where as this would create secondary leadership.
Where as the part time officer who is on corporate time could be used for consultations, grievance hearings and health and safety meetings and any other meeting, just to mention a few.
