On Friday, March 8
th BCGEU classifications representatives and two members from the Component 1 executive (Dean Purdy, Component Chair and Brian Campbell, Component 2nd Vice Chair) met for the second time in order to complete the process of revising the bench marks for both Correctional Officers (CO’s) and Correctional Supervisors (CS’s). These are the classification specific detailed descriptions of each job and how they correspond directly to the Public Service Job Evaluation Plan (PSJEP). The union has completed their review of the new benchmarks for both classifications. The next step is to set up a joint BCGEU/PSA meeting to review the union’s proposed bench marks.The third BCGEU meeting for the Sheriffs benchmark reviews is set for April 9th and I will update you following this meeting.
The benchmark reviews are an agreed to process and are separate from the et al classification appeals filed in 2011 for both Corrections and Sheriffs under Article 28 of the Master Agreement. The classification appeals filed on behalf of Corrections and Sheriffs are one of a number the union has filed in the past.
I will continue to keep you updated as both of these BCGEU Component 1 initiatives move along.
