Vancouver Taxi – Policy Grievance – National Day of Mourning

I write to inform you that a policy grievance has been filed against your employer for their failure to recognize the National Day of Mourning on September 19, 2022, as a holiday. Your collective agreement states under Article 7.01 “and any other day that may be stated a legal holiday by the Provincial and/or Federal Government.” Our interpretation is that September 19th should have been recognized, and thus a policy grievance was filed.

I will keep you up to date on the status of the grievance as it progresses. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me at wedgar@moveuptogether.ca or 604-838-6213.

In solidarity,

Ward Edgar, Union Representative
