Mayor Miller Fails to Prioritize City of Toronto Non-Union Employees
Toronto, ON – Mayor Miller’s announcement of the deployment of the new budget surplus for the City of Toronto that failed to include any recognition of the City of Toronto’s non-unionized employees is a great disappointment. COTAPSA, the City of Toronto Administrative, Professional, Supervisory Association, represents the city’s non-unionized employees who have always been a responsible partner working with the city to find “win – win” solutions to its many issues. “Over the years, non-unionized employees have made significant concessions to the city in order to help them manage their costs, and as a result have consistently seen their salaries and benefits decrease compared to union employees,” said Richard Majkot, Executive Director of COTAPSA. The City of Toronto’s position is particularly regrettable given the tremendous contribution non-unionized employees made to protect its infrastructure and to keep the City of Toronto functioning during the 39-day civic labour strike. “Today, Mayor Miller had the chance to recognize the hard work of non-unionized employees by compensating them for their hard work and dedication,” said Majkot. “In failing to do so, Mayor Miller clearly demonstrated that non-unionized employees are not a priority for him.” On February 23, 2010 Councillor Karen Stintz brought forward a motion to Toronto City Council requesting that a Framework Agreement be established with COTAPSA. This motion was referred to the next meeting of the Employee and Labour Relations Committee. “Given Mayor Miller’s refusal to equitably compensate non-unionized employees, I would urge councillors to vote in favour of establishing this Framework Agreement,” said Majkot. “This is a modest request and will demonstrate that Council values every non-unionized city employee.”
