TO: ALL PSAC MEMBERS AT THE OLG SLOTS AT WOODBINE
RE: RATIFICATION OF TENTATIVE AGREEMENT
A tentative agreement was reached on March 28, 2013 on behalf of the PSACmembers at the OLG Slots at Woodbine. The tentative agreement if ratified by themembership will have an expiry date of March 31, 2015. You are encouraged to reviewthe attached changes to the renewal tentative agreement and ask any questions youmay have before casting your vote. As per PSAC Regulation 15C you must be presentat the ratification vote meeting in order to vote. Ratification meetings will be held onWednesday, April 10th at Woodbine Entertainment Group (Racetrack side) with roomlocation and meeting start times to follow.
The improvements and changes to your current conditions of work were based on thebargaining input submitted by the membership in 2012. Your bargaining was governedby the Ontario Governments Public Sector Compensation Restraint Act, 2012, which isa provincial government directive that froze all forms compensation (i.e. wages,benefits, etc) and prevented any new forms of compensation to be introduced. YourBargaining Team was able to negotiate that upon ratification the Employer pay a$800.00 lump sum payment to all employees.
The priorities for our members were hours of work and scheduling. We were able toachieve improvements in these areas with specific changes to the part-time preferencesheet and a framework for scheduling that is fair for all members. The Bargaining Teamalso negotiated improvements to Layoff and Recall language so members can elect toend the employment relationship and opt for severance earlier; new languageprotections around the Cessation of Operations; and Civil Liability protections.
Your Bargaining Team comprising:

designated representative of the PSAC who is registered with
the AGCO.

became, or ought reasonably to have become, aware of the
circumstances giving rise to the grievance. The grievor must be
present to provide information supporting the grievance and may be
accompanied by a steward or other Local Union Representative. The
Supervisor shall give the grievor his/her decision within seven (7) days.

one (21) days of when the employee became, or ought reasonably to
have become, aware of the circumstances giving nse to the grievance.
The Department Manager or designate shall hold a meeting within the
next fourteen (14) days and will, in any event, deliver his/her decision
in writing to the grievor and the employee’s Representative within
seven (7) days of the meeting.
Stage 3 (FinallWritten Counsel) grievances shall be initiated at
Step 2 and must be initiated within seven (7) days following the
date of the issuance of the discipline in accordance with the
grievance process.

(7) days after the Union Representative and the grievor have received
the decision. A meeting will be held with General Manager or
designate, within fourteen (14) days after receipt of the transmittal. The
General Manager, or designate, shall respond with a decision to the
applicable grievor and his/her Union Representative within seven (7)

resources, to respond to or otherwise review grievance issues.

initiated within seven (7) days following the date of the
termination in accordance with the grievance process.

SCHEDULING COMMITTEE PROCESS
The Employer agrees that a schedule that is supported by the employees who
work it is the best business practice. The Union acknowledges that scheduling is
complex and impacts employees in individual ways.
Scheduling committees will be formed within each department and classification.
These committees will be formed with an equal number of representatives from
both full time and part time within the classifications, and whom are voted into
this committee by bargaining unit members within the same classification.
These committees will convene when schedule changes are required under any
of the following conditions:
• due to changes in operational needs;
• annually, should the committee identify opportunities for re evaluation;
Once the committee has been convened they will be provided with;
• Staffing requirement numbers by shift and day of the week
• Expectations for distribution of shifts between full time and part time
employees• Current full time and part time staffing numbers for the position being
reviewed
With these requirements the committee will create a schedule template in line
with the feedback they have received from bargaining unit members within the
same classification. In the development of the schedule they will number the
scheduled lines in order of preference. They will then create different versions of
the schedule to depict;
• A full rotational/fixed schedule
• A hybrid with majority rotational
• A hybrid with majority fixed
The schedules will be presented, reviewed and approved by the management
team to validate that the operational requirements/parameters have been
adhered to. If a schedule is not approved, the management team will provide a
rationale as to the decision to the scheduling committee in writing.
Following approval, the schedule templates will be posted for the employees to
review for a period of two weeks.
Following the review period all full time employees within the classification will
have an opportunity to vote on if they would prefer the schedule to move forward

following a hybrid option (comb nation of fixed and rotating shifts based on each
individual employees ref e Ce) or a majority (50% plus 1) rules option (all
employees o Id be ixed or rotating based on the majority vote).
Should the decision be hybrid option, each full time employee would submit
their preference of either a fixed or rotating shift and the template would be
formed, following the methodology created by the scheduling committee for the
all cation of the lnes. ollowing this e ch full time employee, in seniority order,
wo Id select either their fixed line or the point in which they would enter the
rotation.
Should a decision be for a majority schedule, all full time employees would be
provided an option for a second round of voting, in which they would select either
fixed or rotating. Based on a majority (50% plus 1) vote the schedule type would
be selected. Should the decision be made for a majority fixed schedule, all full
time employees would then be provided an option for a third round of voting to
select if days off will be fixed or rotating, decision will be based on a majority
(50%+1) vote. Each full time employee, in seniority order, would then either
select their fixed line or the point in which they would enter the rotation.
Following the completion of the process, the department will post the results
within one week. The new schedule will be implemented no more than 8 weeks
following the posting of results.
