RESOLUTION 3 Equitable Wage Replacement for Elected Council Members Submitted by Sara Johl – RIVA Region Moved by Sara Johl Seconded by Shannon Wright

Whereas,

the 2010 Convention adopted the Korbin Report which suggested the salary for council members be set at DC2 level 9 pay with $8000 per year stipend allowance.

Whereas,

BCNU membership in 2010 was primarily Registered Nurses.

Whereas,

BCNU now has RNs, RPNs, Care Aids, Clerks, Housekeeping and others in our wall-to-wall certifications.

Whereas,

many other unions, including HEU, pay its elected officers “wage replacement”.

Whereas,

currently DC2 level 9 pay for a Registered nurse working DC1 level 9 would be an increase of approximately 11% (DC1 level 9 pay = $41.63 DC2 level 9 = $46.22).

Resolved,

that BCNU change the salaries for regional council members to reflect “wage replacement at highest salary level at DC1 (or equivalent collective agreement level) plus 11% plus an additional $8000 per year stipend allowance, rather than a fixed amount, when elected to council positions.

Example: Registered Nurse in council = 41.63 + 11% Licensed Practical Nurse in council = 27.32 + 11%

Cost:

Varies as to who is elected. Each LPN saves the union $26,183 per year.
