After members ratify a new collective agreement and it moves into the implementation stage, it’s normal to experience a few hiccups along the way—especially when changes to pay systems or processes are involved.

The people responsible for putting the new terms into practice aren’t usually the ones who were at the bargaining table, and sometimes the intent behind a clause can be missed or interpreted incorrectly.

If you have questions about how a change has been applied, or if something doesn’t look quite right, reach out to your GSU staff representative. We’re here to help ensure the agreement you voted on is implemented fairly, accurately, and as intended.
