I
will not reiterate the arguments that we have provided to the commission
demonstrating the drastic morale problem and pay compression issues facing
MAGE members as a result of the 3% raise being denied to our members.
Today
the commission approved a 3% raise for NEREs beginning October 1, 2012 along
with a 2% lump sum payment not rolled into the base pay (union members will
receive a 1% raise and 1% lump sum).
Also,
as has been agreed to by the union, we will be going to an 80/20 and 85/15 HMO
insurance premium split. As already negotiated in the union contracts,
annual leave will now be perceived as time not worked when calculating
overtime.
Please
consider the wage adjustments as one small step to rectifying the ongoing
inequity and we hope to make greater strides next year.
