Two St. John's Cancrew employees
grieve after seniority bonus denied
DESPITE having the required
years of seniority with their em-
ployer, two workers at Cancrew
Enterprise in St. John's were not
given a bonus because they were
off work due to disability.
Heber Brown and Martin Gos-
se had worked for the company
but were not paid any salary for
2017. Brown was injured in Sep-
tember 2016, while Gosse booked
off work for medical reasons in
August 2016.
According to 16.01 of the col-
lective agreement under seniority
bonus, it is "based on years of ser-
Ottawa CUPE employee overlooked
despite being most senior candidate
WHEN the Canadian Union of Public Employees
(CUPE) posted for a position as temporary ad-
ministrative officer at its Ottawa office, the most
senior candidate was not hired into it.
Genevieve Romard applied for the position
after it was posted on July 19, 2018.
"Under the direction of the director of infor-
mation technology, the administrative officer for
the CUPEcloud project is primarily responsible
for working with the CUPE leadership team and
CUPEcloud project team and coordinating and
driving activities based on different phases of the
CUPEcloud project," read the posting.
The project was a cloud-based file system that
could be accessed by CUPE members from any-
where.
Romard had worked as an administrative offi-
cer between March 2015 until February 2017, tes-
tified David From, director of information tech-
nology, when she replaced the previous employee.
