The Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) is seeking a comprehensive analysis of the current workload associated with the National Joint Council’s (NJC) travel directive, which was collaboratively developed with input from employer and bargaining agent representatives. Additionally, CCG requires a comparative assessment with other operational centers to ensure consistency in the application and methodology of the travel directive. Furthermore, the analysis should present options for enhancing operational flexibility, including a thorough exploration of the financial impacts and the pros and cons associated with implementing a national home port concept. This concept involves pooling employees from various locations across Canada, allowing for greater operational flexibility and enabling employees to be reimbursed for travel expenses incurred while traveling to their designated national location(s) of work to board their respective assigned CCG vessels.
