Thank you.
I did already ask the other unions, so maybe I'll ask Ms. Byers and Ms. Smallman to comment on this.
You asked us earlier to put ourselves in a different role. I will put myself as a worker in your union, and there is an issue of pay equity. Under the PSECA, if it were in place today, it does say that there would be a workplace assessment on this very issue, and it would be transparently given to every employee. If there were an issue, then I would know that you would take it to collective bargaining to say we need to fix this. I would then be able to hold both the employer and my union representative to account if that issue were not properly resolved.
To me, the reoccurring framework that every four years this has to happen.... Perhaps if there were some of the other alternative resolution processes, I would feel better knowing that those are in place. However, don't you think members would appreciate knowing that ultimately they would get that kind of transparency and accountability? You said transparency and enforcement, but to me that would be the helpful part of the PSECA framework.
