What is Appendix “M” and the SEICC?

Appendix “M” was first established as part of the UPCE Collective Agreement (CA) signed April 12/2002, and renewed in the latest CA signed March 27/2009. Appendix M allows for the creation of a Service Expansion, Innovation and Change Committee (SEICC), which consists of both UPCE and Canada Post representatives.

The SEICC is a joint Union and Management Committee whose mandates are:

• To identify proposals, which will create additional positions, as well as to identify innovation and change initiatives directed at improving Canada Post’s operations.
• To support skills enhancement proposals, which will assist our members to benefit from opportunities within the existing mix of jobs in the bargaining unit, and from those opportunities which result from new projects.
• To manage , an Orientation and Training program aimed at assisting employees on the surplus list, or who have received formal notice that their position will be declared surplus.

Please note that a complete description of the SEICC can be found in your Collective Agreement under Appendix “M”, pages 174-186.

A new SEICC site is also available on the Canada Post Intrapost website for UPCE-represented employees. Although the UPCE site and Intrapost site have similar information, the Intrapost site, in particular, is where employees in surplus situations can access all available resources related to the Orientation & Training programs, including links to internal CPC databases such as Job Postings, HR contacts, the HRP&D process, the actual application form to apply for training funding, etc. You can access the Appendix M site by placing the cursor on "You @ Canada Post", and then click on "PSAC-UPCE Agreement info".
