What happens if the Joint Committee could not come to an agreement on an employees challenge?
In accordance with Article 55.6 of the CMG Collective Agreement, if the members of the Joint Committee,, are unable to come to an agreement about an employee should be slotted, the challenge may proceed to arbitration. However, an Arbitrator will only have jurisdiction to determine the proper slotting of an employees position and will not have the authority to revise classification profiles, re-rate jobs or modify the Job Evaluation plan itself. Further, the parties continue to have the opportunity to resolve the challenge before it goes to arbitration.
