The parties agree that paragraphs 3, 4, 5 and 6 and Appendix B of the September 10, 2008 Agreement form part of the collective agreement, and that the September 10, 2008 Agreement overrides and replaces all prior agreements and settlements between these parties concerning the recognition, treatment and scope of AMAPCEO as a tag- end bargaining unit, as well as replacing, in respect of the seventh unit, OIC 243/94. For clarity, paragraph 5 of the recognition clause settlement dated September 8, 2004, providing for parallel classifications in the AMAPCEO unit where a deleted MCP classification is reinstated, continues to apply, and nothing herein affects the revised recognition clause set out in this article. Effective October 1, 2013 the following recognition clause will apply: The Government recognizes the Association of Management, Administrative and Professional Crown Employees of Ontario as the exclusive bargaining agent for a bargaining unit composed of all Crown employees as defined in Section 1 of CECBA, 1993 who are Public Servants in the positions and classifications set out in Schedule 2 to this collective agreement. For clarity, Schedule 2 includes all classifications and positions previously encompassed by Schedule 1 that have been assigned to a classification level as of the signing of this collective agreement, as well as any positions or classifications included in Schedule 1 that have not, as of the signing of this collective agreement, been assigned to a level in the new job evaluation/classification system, as well as all Go Temp employees, students and interns working in those classifications and positions, and all employees in any newly established classification or position that is subsequently agreed, or determined by the OLRB, to be materially similar to a classification or position in the unit, (save and except persons who exercise managerial functions or who are employed in a confidential capacity relating to labour relations, or lawyers and engineers who are - 1 - Collective Agreement 2012 to 2014 between AMAPCEO and MBC employed in their professional capacity, or those employed in HR Ontario including Regional Service Delivery Centres and Strategic HR Units, or persons employed in the Correctional Bargaining Unit or persons employed at the Ontario Police College, the Ontario Provincial Police Academy, or under the supervision of the Commissioner of the OPP or the Chief Firearms Officer for Ontario.) The parties agree that paragraphs 3, 4, 5 and 6 and Appendix B of the September 10, 2008 Agreement form part of the collective agreement, and that the September 10, 2008 Agreement overrides and replaces all prior agreements and settlements between these parties concerning the recognition, treatment and scope of AMAPCEO as a tag- end bargaining unit, as well as replacing, in respect of the seventh unit, OIC 243/94. For clarity, paragraph 5 of the recognition clause settlement dated September 8, 2004, providing for parallel classifications in the AMAPCEO unit where a deleted MCP classification is reinstated, continues to apply, and nothing herein affects the revised recognition clause set out in this article. For further clarity, the parties agree that the Government continues to recognize AMAPCEO as the exclusive bargaining agent for all classifications and positions, previously covered by the recognition clause contained in Article 1.1 of the collective agreement, and that the change to the new job evaluation/ classification system structure and the amendments to the recognition clause neither alter, expand nor erode the scope of the bargaining unit. ARTICLE 2 - NON-DISCRIMINATION/HARASSMENT/SEXUAL HARASSMENT 2.1 It is understood that the parties are committed to principles which will foster and encourage diversity in the workplace. 2.2.1 There shall be no discrimination or harassment practised by reason of race, ancestry, place of origin, colour, ethnic origin, citizenship, creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, marital status, family status, same sex partnership status, or disability, as defined in section 10(1) of the Ontario Human Rights Code (OHRC). 2.2.2 The Employer has a general duty to take every precaution reasonable in the circumstances to protect an employee from personal harassment. Personal harassment is engaging in a course of vexatious comment or conduct against an employee in the workplace that is known or ought reasonably to be known to be unwelcome. 2.3 Sexual Harassment 2.3.1 All employees covered by this Agreement have a right to freedom from harassment in the workplace because of sex by his or her Employer or agent of the Employer or by another employee. Harassment means engaging in a course of vexatious comment or - 2 - Collective Agreement 2012 to 2014 between AMAPCEO and MBC conduct that is known or ought reasonably to be known to be unwelcome. 2.3.2 Every employee covered by this Collective Agreement has a right to be free from, (a) a sexual solicitation or advance made by a person in a position to confer, grant or deny a benefit or advancement to the employee where the person making the solicitation or advance knows or ought reasonably to know that it is unwelcome; or (b) a reprisal or a threat of reprisal for the rejection of a sexual solicitation or advance where the reprisal is made or threatened by a person in a position to confer, grant or deny a benefit or advancement to the employee. 2.3.3 The time limits set out in Section 15.2.1 do not apply to complaints under Article 2.3, provided that the complaint is made within a reasonable time of the conduct complained of, having regard to all the circumstances. 2.3.4 Where, at any time either before the making of a complaint or the filing of a dispute under Article 2.3, the Employer establishes an investigation of the complaint, or the employee agrees to the establishment of such an investigation, pursuant to any staff relations policy or other procedure of the Employer, the time limits for the processing of the complaint or dispute under Article 15 shall be suspended until the employee is given notice in writing of the results of the investigation. 2.3.5 Where a complaint under Article 2.3 is made against an employee's supervisor, or any person with supervisory responsibilities at a higher level over the employee, any oral complaint or written dispute which is expressed in Article 2.3 to be presented to the supervisor may be presented directly to the Deputy Minister, or the Deputy Minister's designee, or any person appointed by the Deputy Minister specifically to deal with complaints or disputes under this provision. It is agreed that the designee assigned will not be a person who is the subject of the complaint giving rise to the dispute. 2.3.6 Where it appears to a board of arbitration that an employee who is a complainant under Article 2.3 has made a complaint under the Ontario Human Rights Code relating to the conduct which is the subject of the dispute, the board of arbitration may, as it sees fit, adjourn the dispute, stay the dispute, or dismiss the dispute. 2.3.7 An employee who makes a complaint under Article 2.3 may be accompanied and represented by an employee representative at the time of the discussion of the complaint, at each stage of the dispute procedure, and in the course of any investigation established by the Employer under any staff relations policy. - 3 -
