NPF Successful in 3 Unfair Labour Practice
Complaints

• The NPF successfully challenged three unfair
  labour practice complaints against the RCMP
  (Treasury Board) with the Federal Public Service
  Labour Relations and Employment Board (FPSLREB)
  regarding breaches of the statutory freeze.

• As described in October, the first of the three
  complaints addressed changes to Legal Assistance
  at Public Expense policy. These changes were
  reversed, and you can read the Minutes of
  Settlement here
• The second addressed emails sent out by
  management seeking member input on collective
  bargaining which the Associate Director of Member
  Labour Relations has since directed
  non-commissioned members to disregard. You can
  read the Minutes of Settlement here

4

• The third addressed changes to Bereavement Leave
  policy effective September 2017, which was
  reversed, and the previous subsection reinstated.
  You can read the Minutes of Settlement here.
• These successes mean the NPF has won 4 out of 5
  ULPs filed since April, the remaining ULP has a
  hearing scheduled in February 2018. If you are
  aware of other potential breaches, please do not
  hesitate to send them to info_at_npf-fpn.com.

• What is an Unfair Labour Practice? As many of you
  may know, when the NPF applied for certification
  in April, that application engaged a statutory
  freeze on many terms and condition of employment
  for members of the RCMP. Essentially, it means
  that the employer cannot make new, unannounced
  changes to conditions of employment while the
  statutory freeze is in place. This freeze is
  intended to cover any item that may be included
  in a future collective agreement, but is not
  all-encompassing and the employer can make some
  changes.
