CUPE Local 791, as outlined in Corporate Services Department report COR-2021-34;
and,
That the wage, health and dental benefits and vacation enhancements negotiated

positions consistent with the City's approach to joint job evaluation; and,

BACKGROUND:
Following a series of collective bargaining meetings with both union groups, tentative
settlements for a renewal of the Collective Agreements were reached as follows:
1. CUPE 791 covering the period April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2025
2. IATSE 357 covering the period January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2022

REPORT:
The purpose of the recommendation is for Council to ratify the terms and conditions
contained within the tentative settlements. CUPE 791 ratified the tentative settlement on
October 27, 2021. IATSE 357 ratified the tentative settlement on October 13, 2021.
To ensure compliance with any potential pay equity obligations, the negotiated CUPE 791
wage, health and dental and vacation 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 2021-2024. (9000 series positions are part-time,
casual, and summer employees not covered by any of the collective agreements).
If approved, applicable Council policies will be updated to reflect the changes.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The proposed settlement with CUPE 791 and IATSE 357 will be funded from within the
approved operating budgets for each year of the respective collective agreements.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: Community engagement was not conducted for this item as it
is not a requirement of the collective bargaining process.
