A new contract proposal for non-academic staff at the University of Alberta would see retroactive wage rollbacks and require staff to repay “overpayments.”
Postmedia obtained a summary of the contract proposal for the Non-Academic Staff Union (NASA), which outlines an across-the-board reduction of three per cent on all salaries, wage rates and pay scales effective March 31.
“‘Overpayment’ in the period from March 31, 2021, to the date of implementation of the agreement ‘will be reconciled on a repayment schedule as agreed by the parties, provided all overpayments are fully reconciled no later than March 31, 2022,'” the summary states.
The proposal outlines a number of salary range reductions for positions such as accounting clerk, administrative coordinator, entry, intermediate and senior administrative support, classroom lab technologist, journeyman electrician and maintenance service worker.
