Super is a HOARDERSep 02, 2015

We have an ongoing issue with the super hoarding on corporate property, including the meter room, garage, designated office, etc. Management has been ineffective in controlling the issue and now the Board feels compelled to act. Besides verbal and written warnings, can the Board look to impose further penalties (i.e. loss of pay for a day, suspension)? It's a tricky line, since the super is also a union member. Any advice from those with similar experiences would be appreciated.

Is he a union member? if so, be sure of your rights by checking the latest agreement.

super hoarder - Nellie Nov 11, 2015

You said corporate space, indicating the you know the space does not belong to the super. We had similar situation, staff was sent a letter with designated removal by date and if items not removed they would be disposed of. After some push back and extending date, items were removed and locations which were being used by the porters locked. Super does not own the location where he is employed. Be firm and execute.
