No employee shall be required to work for more than three (3) hours a day at a VDT. 3. Pregnant employees will not be required to operate a VDT and shall suffer no loss of pay or benefits.

An employee who believes they have been the subject of harassment within the meaning of Article 23.02 has the choice to first endeavour to resolve the matter informally, with or without the assistance of COPE Local 491 as the employee may wish, or formally lodge a complaint through COPE Local 491.

The notice to the Managing Director of Human Resources shall include a description of the particulars and circumstances giving rise to the complaint. If the matter remains unresolved to the employee’s satisfaction after the passage of fifteen (15) working days from the notice forwarded to the Managing Director of Human Resources, COPE Local 491 may make a complaint under paragraph #3 below. 3. A complaint under Article 23.02 shall be referred to expedited arbitration. A copy of the complaint will be given to the respondent person(s) and the CUPE Managing Director of Human Resources. The complaint shall describe the particulars and circumstances giving rise thereto, and the remedy sought. 4. Within fifteen (15) days of the receipt of the complaint, the matter shall be referred to expedited arbitration. Every effort shall be made to conclude the hearing within thirty (30) days, including, where necessary, the publication of an award. 5. The expedited arbitrator may, at his or her discretion, seek to mediate a resolution of the matter. 6. An award by the expedited arbitrator shall be final and binding. In making the binding award, the expedited arbitrator shall not amend or modify the Collective Agreement. However, in addition to the binding award, the expedited arbitrator may make non-binding recommendations which they consider appropriate in the circumstances. 7. Time limits may be extended by agreement between CUPE and COPE Local 491. 8. Fees and expenses of the expedited arbitration shall be shared equally by CUPE and COPE Local 491.
