Whiteshell Technical Employees Group (WTEG)

Hello WTEG members,

The Employer at CNL will be submitting a request for an extension of 18 months to complete the pay equity plan. The original draft plan was supposed to be posted for review and comments by July 03, 2024 but the employer failed to meet this deadline.

The Pay Equity Committee at CNL has completed the process of creating job classes which include similar duties, responsibilities, qualifications, and the same compensation plan within the same range of salary rates.

Hello WTEG members,   As we kick off another round of bargaining, we would like to remind you that your interest and participation are critical as we start the process of renewing our collective agreement.   

The Pay Equity Committee at CNL has been working to develop a proactive pay equity plan. The committee is composed of bargaining agent representatives, including a PIPSC member and staff, non-represented employees and employer representatives.

We are pleased to announce that the WTEG group has ratified the collective agreement on Friday October 19th, 2018. This new collective agreement will be in force until June 30th, 2022.

You are being asked to vote on the WTEG tentative agreement. You have been provided the opportunity to review all of the proposed changes to your collective agreement

Dear Members, As many of you are aware, your WTEG & WPEG negotiating committee is very close to entering into conciliation with the employer and is trying its best to secure a contract that balances both a good work life & personal life for all the members in WTEG and WPEG.

As the negotiations for the renewal of your collective agreements continue in to the fall (2018), your bargaining teams would like to clarify the issue of hours of work. Negotiations have happened around moving to a 40 hour work week. Though at this time this proposal has not yet been signed off. We are still discussing compensation for the 40 hours, format of the 40 hours, start times, and how to calculate accrual and use of leave (vacation, sick leave, etc).

PIPSC members with a gross annual income of less than $40,000 are eligible to apply for reimbursement of part of their union dues.
