This adjustment does not in any way settle the pay equity issue. There is in fact no relation whatsoever between this adjustment and all the work undertaken since we have accepted to extend our Collective Agreement for a year. In 1989-90, a salary relativity exercise was carried out. The Pay Equity Commission emanating from the law on this subject rendered a decision last year to the effect that this exercise carried out did meet, except for a few exceptions, the provisions of the law. The key exception was that jobs held in majority by women had not caught up with equivalent jobs held in majority by men. The adjustment is therefore the result of this salary gap. The provisions of the law provide also that the payments can be paid over a period of five (5) years, the first payment being due on November 21, 2001 and the other payments on November 21st of each year thereafter. These payments have nothing to do with the ongoing work being done on pay equity for more than a year now. These payments do not settle the issue and will not allow, according to us, to reach our pay equity objectives. These payments are based on work done more than ten (10) years ago. The fight to obtain justice on this issue is not over yet. In the meantime, the interim adjustment list has been forwarded to your union executive.
