Nurses urged to check accuracy of seniority
On August 20th 2002, the Labour Relations Board ruled that for the purposes of displacement, Health Authorities (with the exception of the Provincial Health Services Authority) must create a dovetailed seniority list for all employees employed at worksites owned and operated by the Health Authority.
These dovetailed seniority lists are created by amalgamating individual worksite seniority lists. Therefore it is very important that worksite seniority lists be accurate.
It is the responsibility of individual employees to check their worksite seniority lists for accuracy. If a BCNU steward has obtained a dovetailed list due to displacement and has posted that dovetailed seniority list, this list should also be checked for accuracy.
There is currently a disagreement between BCNU and employers on how seniority is amalgamated if you work at more than one worksite within the same health authority. If you have any questions regarding amalgamating seniority, please contact a BCNU steward.
If there is a mistake in your seniority, please bring it to the attention of management. If management does not agree there has been an error, contact a BCNU steward (with supporting documentation) and a grievance can be filed.
The BCNU and stewards have no way of checking if seniority lists are accurate except through discussions and documentation from individual members. Only individual members can assess if their seniority is properly placed on the worksite seniority list.
Please note that a Labour Relations board decision on seniority lists for the Provincial Health Services Authority is still pending.
