The following information is posted inaccordance with the Labour Relations Board. Amended Notice to Employer and Employees On June 25, 2003, the Calgary Board of Education Staff Association ("the Association") filed a complaint to the board under section 60(3) of the Labour Relations Code. The Association alleges the Calgary School District No. 19 breached section 60(3) of the Code by announcing it was reducing the hours of work for the lunchroom supervisors. This announcement occurred after the parties ratification of a collective agreement. On July 15, 2003, the Association made a further complaint to the Board under Section 16(12). The Association alleges the employer interfered with representation of employees by the trade union as they ignored a June 1997 memorandum of settlement that recognized the union's bargaining rights in issues such as reduction of funding for lunch room programs. The Board had scheduled a hearing. The hearing dates are revised as follows: Date:

As we are all well aware this is budget time within the Calgary Board of Education and because of this we must address some crucial issues for Support Staff.
In the meantime, the C.B.E. agrees with Staff Association, that our members should not work for free and should be paid the appropriate rate of pay for the work that is done. Example - If you are working as a Lunchroom Supervisor (A) you should be paid an (A). If you are working as a School Assistant (B) you should be paid as a (B). If Staff Association, Alberta Teachers Association, CUPE, Trades, Exempt, continue to do the same amount of work with fewer people, how will we ever convince anyone, let alone the Province, that we are underfunded? Working for free only devalues all our worth. Let's give ourselves and all our fellow C.B.E. employees some "RESPECT". Jean
