To ensure compliance with pay equity obligations, the negotiated wage 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 year 2020. (9000 series
positions are part-time, casual and summer employees not covered by any of the collective
agreements).
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The proposed settlement with CUPE 791 will be funded from within the approved 2020
operating budget.
INFORM:
The City will issue a media release to summarize the highlights of the collective agreement.
