General secretary Hugh Wagner is assisting a member whose job title and duties changed as a result of a workplace reorganization. 

“When the employer changes the title of a job or revises the duties in a significant way they are obliged to notify the union. In turn, GSU can advance an argument that the changes should result in a higher salary grade,” Wagner said. “In this instance GSU wasn’t notified until the affected union member raised the subject. We’re now pursuing a review of the job and whether the salary should change.” 

Wagner anticipates a meeting with the employer in the next the next two weeks.
