The end result is the same, but that should explain why the MEC isn’t taking a cut. Do we really want the MEC to do a lesser portion of their normal duties?!
I’m sure the vocal NO voters would like that, but I still think that explains why the MEC isn’t taking a cut.
thats makes sense but shouldn’t they have a rate cut as well? For the collective good? I realize that there are probably only like 40-45 people but shouldn’t they have to endure some of this as well? Isn’t that only right? not saying it has to be the same but 10 hours less or something?
also would this 95 hr/month union rate be found in the by laws for their duration of seat I’m guessing.
I appreciate the response.
