Arbitrator decides two groups can be treated differently
A union's claim that offering overtime to one group of employees and not to another violated the collective agreement was dismissed recently after an arbitrator concluded the two groups could be treated differently.
The City of Windsor had one group of employees in its Employment & Social Services department known as employment services caseworkers (ESCs). Another group called the employment training services caseworkers (ETSCs) worked in the same department, but only the ETSCs were offered overtime.
