The Union is in the process of filing a policy grievance against WEG, as well as filing complaints with the Ontario Racing Commission and the Canadian Pari-Mutuel Agency (CPMA) for violating their respective regulations.

Grievance Report
WEG has agreed not to require employees to work Statutory Holidays unless they have requested to do so.
The Union has filed a policy grievance that each Seniority List should be entitled to twelve (12) one day/shift SU’s for calendar year 2006.
The Union has filed a grievance regarding WEG’s policy of requiring any employee who indicates they are available to work a 7th day, be available for all three shifts on that 7th day. It is the Union’s position that any employee who is available for six (6) full days should be allowed to select one or more shifts on the 7th day of the week.
The Union has filed a policy grievance regarding WEG’s unreasonable shortage guidelines and related discipline. WEG has no specific shortage guidelines and some of the discipline is, in our view, outrageous. For example, a Seniority List employee was given the following suspension:
“Your shortage record for the month of September totaled $14.00 and you were short 11% of the time you worked……You are to serve a one day suspension…“
The Union has filed for arbitration where WEG has not allowed employees to return to work at specific teletheatres for strike related activity.
The Union has filed for arbitration for a case where WEG has required a teller to pay $500 for a ticket a customer did not want. A successful resolution to this case may have a huge bearing on the inherent unreasonable risks related to our jobs.
