CPC: “Modest” Wage Offer Is An “Insult”

The wage offer presented by Canada Post management is an insult. The vast majority of employees would receive pay increases of 0.75% per year or less. Here it is:

Wage/Activity Value Increases (Maximum Rate)

*Lump sum, No wage Increase

CUPW’s Wage Proposal: A Fair and Reasonable Approach

Compare CPC’s offer with the approach of CUPW:

Urban: 

• A new wage grid with lowest paid employees to receive 85% of highest wage rate.

• All employees to receive wage increases of $0.78 (3%), $0.53 (2%), $0.55 (2%) and $0.56 (2%). The percentages are based on the maximum Postal Clerk/Letter Carrier wage rate.
• Groups 3 and 4 workers to receive adjustment of $1.00 per hour on January 1, 2016 and $1.00 per hour on January 1, 2018.
• Temporary employees pay in lieu of benefits to rise to 6% from 4%.

RSMC:    

• Elimination of three wage zones. One national pay rate.
• RSMCs to receive the same wages as letter carriers with increases of 3%, 2%, 2% and 2%.
• RSMCs to be paid an hourly rate and paid for all hours worked at the appropriate rate.
• Guaranteed regular hours which will be pensionable.
• OCREs to receive the same wages and benefits of urban temporary employees.
