Units with an * were protected under the prior classification system. They had dropped to the lower level indicated in parenthesis, but through agreement with NAV Canada, no pay action was taken until the matrix process was completed. It should be noted that members in the units where grade drops occurred will be green circle salary protected. They will remain at their current salary level and continue to receive economic increases.
The classification group will now proceed with the next grouping of towers to be reviewed. In 2018, the following towers will be evaluated using the matrix review process:
- Moncton
- Ottawa
- Springbank
- John’s
- St-Honore
- Vancouver Harbour
- Villeneuve
- Waterloo
- Winnipeg
If you have any questions, please direct them to your Branch Chair, who will in turn direct them to your Regional Vice President.
