Question:

Local 54 has retained James Love to represent it in a grievance against Dilated Peoples Optical Inc. The union is grieving the employer’s decision to exclude from the bargaining unit the position of dilation officer, which the employer decided to move from Edmonton to San Francisco. Dilated Peoples argued that dilation officers are excluded from the bargaining unit based on the collective agreement, which specifies that only staff “employed in the offices located in Edmonton” are to be included in the bargaining unit. Local 54 responded with the argument that the words used in the collective agreement were meant to be descriptive rather than limiting. Which interpretation do you think should prevail? Explain your reasoning.
