This is a recommendation from the Customs and Immigration Union, which is concerned about the current clause, because it doesn't include the ability for a union representative to be informed. Of course, through this legislation, we have established collective agreements. We need to ensure there is harmony between this legislation and collective agreements.
What NDP-48 seeks to do is ensure the union representative is part of the duty to inform. It also adds a new clause:
(1.1) The member, person, officer or employee, as well as their union representative, has a right to grieve the Chairperson’s recommendation that a disciplinary process be initiated.
This is in clause 67, “Notice Recommending Disciplinary Process or Measure”.
