Salary Review Update
Tuesday March 9, 2010
During the 2009 round of negotiations, the Corporation committed to conduct a compensation review of all classifications within the IBEW jurisdiction. Such a review was to commence immediately following ratification of the collective agreement.
The IBEW has been advised by the Corporation that the first item that will be changing as part of the corporation’s review is to change all salary admin practices from 4.4% to 5%. This will be fully implemented by April 1, 2010 and will be retroactive to December 24, 2009. It applies to lead hand rates of pay, promotional increases, and duals.
With regards to reviewing classifications within the IBEW jurisdiction, the Corporation has advised us that they are putting together a plan of action relating to the review.
I have reminded the Corporation that the review is to be completed by the end of November 2010 and any adjustments resulting from the review will be retroactive to January 2010. The Corporation has acknowledged that they are aware of the timelines and the signed commitment they made to the IBEW.
As further information becomes available we will continue to update the web site and the membership through the monthly unit meetings.
