CGS RETRO PAY - UPDATE
23/09/2016
To All Members Inside and Outside Bargaining Units:
A number of Members have expressed their concerns as to the status of their retroactive pay from the recently ratified Collective Bargaining Agreement. Both the Inside and Outside Chairs have received calls complaining that they haven’t yet received the money owing to them and that it should be paid by now.
This morning we met with Sudbury’s new CAO Ed Archer and the Director of Human Resources Kevin Fowke.
We were told that retro payments were “imminent”, but we were not given any firm date other than the assurance that Members would receive their money by November.
We have made it clear to the City that November is completely unacceptable. Your new CBA was negotiated in good faith, and the Membership strongly ratified both agreements with the expectation that monies owed would be paid in a timely manner. You take a great deal of pride in the all the vital public services that you deliver, and you have every right to expect any monies owed to you that were negotiated by both your Union and the City of Greater Sudbury.
We will be following up with the City next week, and you have my commitment to do everything possible to speed up this process.
We will post further updates as new information is available.
