NEW ITS WAGE SCALE APPROVED

On June 7, 2016, CUPE members in the ITS area voted to accept the new wage scale. This is the first area to decide on a new wage scale that reflects the merger into MBLL. The new scale means that employees will reach the top of the wage scale faster (5 steps instead of 7) and the wage increments from one step to the next in each pay level will be consistent across the workplace.

If you filed a wage appeal for your classification or individual position, the process is still in progress.

For more information, please contact your Local 5021 Executive or email us at cupe5021@gmail.com
