Many of you have reached this week to share how missing per diem on this week’s pay has affected you. We understand how per diem makes up a large portion of your monthly compensation, and this can really impact your ability to pay your rent or your mortgage and your bills. It can also take a toll on your ability to take care of yourself and your family, and your mental health as well.
Workers shouldn’t have to wonder what will happen when their employer makes a mistake on their paycheque. Many CUPE collective agreements have language in place outlining exactly what happens when an employer underpays their workers, with a process to make things right clearly laid out.
With a union, we’ll be able to negotiate our own collective agreement with black and white language on what this process looks like. We shouldn’t be left short-changed come payday, and we shouldn’t have to rely on the good will of our employer to fix their mistakes.
