CAPE, along with other Public Service Unions, has shared its concerns with the Employer regarding the impact that some of our members are experiencing from the ongoing demonstrations being held in the National Capital Region and elsewhere in the country. As a result of this advocacy, the Employer has agreed to consider the use of Code 699 leave in the event members are unable to work due to these disturbances. Requests for this leave can also be made retroactively for those who already used other forms of leaves.
The situation may also have an impact on your mental health, and we remind you that the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) services are available 24/7.
For any questions, please contact your Labour Relation Officer.
As a member of the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC), CAPE would also like to direct you to the CLC statement regarding the situation on behalf of Canada’s unions.
