What's Agreed On
The Township and CUPE Local 1490 have agreed on almost all the sections of the new Collective Agreement.
What's Outstanding
Currently the only outstanding items are the Pay Grid and the Annual Increases. The two items are interconnected. We have an understanding on Vacation Allowance increases, but this is tied to the two outstanding issues.
What's the Holdup?
Despite the fact that non-union staff members have a pay grid, Local 1490 is not in favour of having one added to their collective agreement. They have offered to accept the grid for additional compensation adding up to a 15% increase in their wages.
Why not just agree to it?
While it would exceed the mandate given to us by Council, the biggest concern is the effect it would have on the tax levy. Every increase to the collective agreement will increase the tax levy - about 1% for every $50,000.
