An arbitrator ruled in favor of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), Local 213, stating that workers in the Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako whose positions were subject to 'red-circling' are entitled to pay raises. The arbitrator determined that the employer's interpretation of 'red-circling' did not imply a wage freeze for these employees.
An arbitrator agreed with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers , Local 213, that Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako workers whose positions are being grandfathered deserve pay raises.
But, in late January 2024, workers classified as Site Attendant 2 and Landfill Operator 3 were informed that they would not receive a further increase, triggering the union’s grievance. Kandola’s Dec. 19 decision, under the Labour Relations Code, said the parties did not have a mutual intention to cap wages for the existing employees.
The 2023 pay scale for the three positions under the Site Attendant 2 category was $27.91 to $31.41 per hour. For the lone Landfill Operator 3 position, it was $38.80 to $43.67 per hour.
