This question is directed at records managers in federal, provincial and
state governments.
Are any of the records managers who work in government departments that
handle labour negotiations with their own bargaining units classified as
management or management excluded? The branch within the Ontario government
that handles such matters is raising concerns that one of our unionized
staff will be preparing a file classification plan for them. I've explained
that he doesn't need to see the files, just their current file directory
structure, and that like all public servants he has sworn an oath of
secrecy, but that doesn't seem to matter.
I realize there are ways around this conundrum, but want to try the "see
what other jurisdictions do" method first.
Thanks.
