Vancouver Police Collective Agreement 2020

Filed under: Uncategorized — ירון @ 3:44 pm

I want the police to feel valued, but the steady rise in wages, which exceed inflation, will reach a threshold of burden. It is not a question of if, but of when. Wages are not the only way to improve the working conditions of the police. I`m sure there are creative alternatives to maintaining a large font. As I said in my previous column, the nature of calls for service has changed dramatically and we need to reform our emergency response to meet these new needs. Medicine Hat has been rich enough in the past to use money to mask these problems, but that`s no longer the case. The arbitrator will attempt to respond to a fair and reasonable agreement. Determining what is “fair and reasonable” begins with the study of other collective agreements concluded in the same sector and in the same geographical areas to be used as comparators. I voted against the 2017-2020 police collective agreement (+8% over 4 years) in April 2019. My voice is not ideological. I am not automatically for or against unions. With this special collective agreement, I had the impression that local economic conditions did not justify this increase in wages. The Council often has to find a balance between competing values, and these are difficult discussions.

This is especially true for discussions on union wages. The City of Vancouver this week authorized a contract with the union representing senior officials at the Police Authority, the culmination of year-long negotiations. But this justification ignores another reality of governments – we can pay more and more. The City of Medicine Hat can pay any salary we set, because we can still levy taxes to cover salary increases. We can continue to raise police salaries and taxes until the city is no longer competitive and dies slowly. The negotiation process does not seem to take into account the fact that different municipalities have different payment capacities. Medicine Hat and Vancouver, Camrose and Toronto are not the same. Ignoring or minimizing the impact of local economic conditions on police salaries penalizes two groups: small municipalities and metropolitan police officers. “The city`s revenues are not expected to return to their pre-2020 level in the future and the stabilization reserve will be needed again in 2021,” City Manager Sadhu Johnston said in comments on the budget documents released Tuesday. We know that modern police work is brutally difficult. The Canadian Police Association reports that its members are experiencing a higher workload.
