EMPLOYEE RELATIONS 



A new agreement was reached on hours of work for pilots 

 and air engineers during the operating season. Effective 

 communication was maintained with the Staff Relations 

 Branch, Treasury Board and the Civil Service Association of 

 Ontario. 



A review of existing personnel circulars was started, and 

 some revised circulars were issued. It is intended that the 

 circulars will become a manual for personnel administra- 

 tion. 



The objective of clear dialogue internally at Head Office, 

 and between the field and Head Office, was pursued, and 

 conditions were improved. 



The program of assisting the problem employee was 

 maintained and included such items as financial and emo- 

 tional as well as alcoholic; at meetings, emphasis has been 

 placed upon the role of supervisor. The results of this pro- 

 gram cannot be assessed on a short-term basis but there are 

 indications which support the continuation of such an en- 

 deavour.
