Management rights

[drcorti]

What is the name of your state? Ontario , canada
My union reps are failing to provide me with an explanation to the article listed below. Specifically, with respect to the part about directing the workforce. My issue is that a big part of my job is being outsourced to the private sector ( i work for the gov) and no notice was given. I have been advised that because management has the right to manage the business and direct the workforce that they can do this without giving me notice. When i was hired, the job function was included in my job specification. Can they use article below to justify removing a key component from my job spec.

thanks for the help

Can they use article below to justify removing a key component from my job spec. It's very clear in the CCA language you provided that they most certainly can.
