AJC Files Policy Grievance and Group Grievance Regarding Employer’s Failure to Implement Collective Agreement in 180 days 

The AJC has filed a policy grievance asserting that the employer violated the collective agreement by not implementing compensation increase and retroactive amounts that did not require manual intervention within 180 days.  Although we have asked for individual remedies for affected members, they may not be awarded as part of a policy grievance.

To ensure that affected members may be eligible for individual remedies, the AJC will also file a group grievance for any member who:

1. Has had their salary adjusted, but not received retroactive pay;
2. Has received their retroactive pay, but has not had their salary adjusted; or
3. Has not had their salary adjusted nor received their retroactive pay.

Note: If you have received your retroactive pay and had your salary adjusted, you cannot be a member of the group grievance. If your retroactive payment or salary is incorrect, please follow the instructions in our previous communication linked here.

 

Action for Affected Members – Your Consent is Needed 

In order to participate in the group grievance, you must clearly indicate your consent to do so by e-mail no later than NOVEMBER 29, 2024 following the instructions below.
