Whistler managers & administrators highest paid in B.C.
[May 5, 2005 11:31 PM]
It's through a "built-in" living allowance that Whistler's managers and administrators have become the highest paid in all of B.C. While the top administrator makes over $200,000 a year (for a community less than 10,000), the rest make between 60 to 90 percent more than managers in comprabale communities. In the late 90s, RMOW council proposed and approved the allowance for administrators and managers in order to solve retention and labour supply issues.
How is RMOW council addressing retention, labour supply and affordability issues for it's unionized municipal workers that can't afford to live where they work and have a 100 percent turnover rate every two years?
RMOW council continues to allow its staff to demand benefit concessions from CUPE 2010 members, bargain in bad faith, and refuse to discuss our affordability concerns.
Currently, Whistler municipal workers are paid between $14 and $25/hour, which is 20 to 42 percent less than workers in the Capital Regional District - the only other B.C. community that provides the same source-to-tap water services we provide for you.
