Dear Mr. B,
As you are aware, the company has recently sent out letters to all staff explaining the salary increases for the year 2008/2009.
The R/W staff received a letter informing them that they would receive a 4% increase in wages. The F/W staff received a letter informing them that we would not be receiving any wage increases.
This decision is not beneficial for moral of the staff, nor is it in line with company policy.
Further to this, this decision is illegal under Canadian Human Rights and the Labor Code, which CHC is bound by. Below is directly from the Canadian Labor Code.
Federal pay equity laws require your employer to pay equal wages to women and men, performing work of equal value within the same establishment. To meet their obligations under section 11, employers are encouraged to work proactively with employees and unions to develop and maintain gender-neutral compensation systems within their organizations.
I would like to know if you will bring these concerns to the attention of the relevant individuals within CHC Management.
Thank you,
