One big mistake that CHC has made is not checking with the legal department before making such decisions of salary increses for one group, but not for the other in the same operation. This is a direct violation of Employment Equity laws, which CHC is bound to follow.
Further to this, CHC has been wishy washy over the vacation pay and stat holiday pay issues, and this also is in direct violation of Canadian labour code, which regardless where the company operates, they are still bound by Canadian Federal Laws, and all employees are covered by these same laws.
I sugest every employee makes a complaint to the Canadian Labour Board at the following number.
