It is only a moot point for those who were part of the Cape Town operation. For those still with Global Ops, there is hope, and there will be justice.
Tchad/Cameroon employees still have the rights to fair and equal treatment under Canadian Law. All employees are entitled to vacation pay, and to statutory holiday pay.
The F/W staff have been discriminated against. Being refused a salary increase due to poor performance is a cop out. Since when does the worker have control over negotiations with contracts? Or poor buisness decicions made by bad management?
By CHC sending two letters to the staff of one operation, one to F/W saying no salary increase due to poor performance, and one letter to the R/W giving a salary increse, this is illegal under Canadian Employment Equity Laws.
Here is is again for you who have doubts:
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.
