Savings are to be accomplished primarily through adjustments in compensation.
The Act strongly encourages employer and employee groups to effect these savings by negotiating Local Agreements. CUPE Local 793 represents approximately 360 employees in the Plant Operations and Food Services Departments. Wage increases will only occur as a result of a promotion to a position with a higher wage rate. Employer and employee pension contributions and employee pension entitlements will not be affected by these unpaid days. These deductions will be made so as to coincide with the bi-weekly pay cycles.
