SUBJECT:
Memorandum ofSettlement, CUPE 791
________________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council approve the terms and conditions contained in the Memorandum of
Settlement dated September 5, 2014 to establish the 2014-2017 Collective
Agreement with CUPE Local 791;
That the wage and fringe benefit adjustments negotiated with CUPE 791 be
applied to non-union/management positions consistent with the City’s approach
to joint job evaluation;
That the wage settlements for 2015 and 2016 be applied to 9000 series positions;
And further, that the Mayor and the Clerk be authorized to execute documentation
arising there from.
BACKGROUND:
Following a series of collective bargaining meetings, the last occurring on September 5,
2014 with the assistance of a provincially appointed Mediation Officer, the negotiating
teams for CUPE Local 791 and the Corporation reached a tentative agreement for a
renewal Collective Agreement covering the period April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2017.
12. - 1
REPORT:
The purpose of the recommendation is for Council to ratify the terms and conditions
contained within the tentative agreement. CUPE Local 791 ratified the tentative
agreement on September 9, 2014.
To ensure compliance with pay equity obligations, the negotiated wage and fringe
benefit adjustments will also be applied to non-union/management positions given that
these positions are part of the same joint job evaluation system as CUPE 791 positions.
In addition, the applicable wage adjustment will also be applied to 9000 series positions
for the years 2015 and 2016.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The proposed settlement with CUPE 791 will be funded from within the approved 2014
operating budget.
INFORM:
The City will issue a media release to summarize the highlights of the collective
agreement following mutual ratification.

Dan Chapman, Deputy CAO, Finance and Corporate Services.
