As you are aware from the joint memos previously sent (here and here), the Joint Job Evaluation Committee (JJEC) has been meeting since January 10th to rate all of the job classes in the bargaining unit. This process has taken a lot longer than anticipated and we thank you for your patience. We wanted to provide you with an update.
Last Friday March 24th while at the scheduled JJEC meeting, we were surprised to learn the employer wanted to adjourn the process as of that day. We expressed our ongoing commitment to continue the process based on the progress made to date and reiterated our willingness to continue meeting for our already scheduled dates. At the end of the day the employer was not agreeable to continue meeting face-to-face.
Given the current situation, we are investigating all available options to complete the process as expeditiously as possible. We are hopeful that management will rejoin us in continuing the development of a pay equity plan that is fair for all of our members. We look forward to their return to the table and remain committed to completing this process.
In solidarity,
Ruth, Shannon & Julie
