Posted by After much delay, we’ll soon be receiving our pay equity payments.
The union had to intervene because the announcement made earlier this week said that Administrative Agents class 3 (AA3) would receive retroactive pay starting in 2012, whereas we obtained that retroactive pay would apply from December 31, 2010.
The employer has acknowledged the error and issued a second press release, which is reproduced below in English and French.
The battle for pay equity began more than 40 years ago… We had to fight to obtain the Pay Equity Act and then for the government to apply it correctly, which is totally unacceptable. Our tenacity and solidarity paid off in the end.
The union has not ceased to make representations to ensure that detailed calculations are available and accessible to members. Unfortunately, this will not be the case in the immediate future, according to the memo. This is unacceptable!
The battle continues for pay equity and, above all, against any privatization of our services and jobs. That’s why the CSN has launched the VRAIMENT PUBLIC campaign.
