Sullivan said the Nunavut Employees Union local representing the Town's employees and the municipality have agreed on a memorandum to develop a process for creating a job classification plan for the Town of Iqaluit. The Town's employees have never had a job classification system before.
Mechanics make so much money, and drivers make so much.
Under the agreement, a committee will be set up to develop a job classification plan by the end of November, in time for the next round of collective agreement negotiations, scheduled for Dec. 9-17, Sullivan said. Sullivan was in Iqaluit last week to take part in a first round of negotiations between the Town and the union on a new wage and benefit deal. They have been without a contract for 14 months. The committee will have four members, two from the Town, and two from the union, he said. Their duties will include determining the number of consultants, researching information on classification plans, and organizing the process, Sullivan said.
