Pay equity is a human right and pay equity is also part of the bargaining process. We can't change the labour laws that exist in this country. We have to operate within the confines of those laws. An employer cannot change the terms and working conditions of unionized employees without the involvement of the union, without fair collective bargaining, and without the give and take that is necessary to find solid solutions to complex problems.
Pay is a very complex problem. Pay equity is certainly a complex problem to solve, but it's all part and parcel of a very difficult process of setting wages and benefits and compensation in the workplace, so we have to work to solve the pay equity pay gap and at the same time manage our businesses in accordance with compensation arrangements that make sense.
