The union became aware that 'Letter of Intent #2' was not being applied to casual employees while working at a unionized worksite at Vancity. This meant that casual employees were not having their hourly rate adjusted to cover the deduction of union dues.
This resulted in the union submitting a grievance on behalf of all members at Vancity.
We have reached a prejudicial settlement with the employer that confirms:
The employer agrees that casual employees working at a worksite certified with the union shall be paid the greater of the two following rates:
a) the Living Wage rate as per Appendix A of the agreement plus the current BCGEU dues rate; or
b) the employees current rate of pay plus the current BCGEU dues rate.
The settlement is retroactive to January 1, 2016 for any casual employee impacted.
We are pleased we could gain this result for our members.
In solidarity
