Strike Pay – Local Top up Cheques

Top up cheques for CEIU local have been mailed out today, and should be received over the next few days.

They were sent to all members that filled out the required google form, provided a supporting pay stub (pre- August 2, 2023 pay period), and were confirmed members of CEIU local 581 at the time of the strike.

This includes most of our members that picketed.

Cheques were mailed to the address you provided on the google form.

Each cheque includes an explanation of its calculation. This is in the following format:

[(Daily net rate of pay) – $125] x (The number of days you picketed)

Where your daily net rate of pay was determined by the pay stub you provided; the $125 is the $75 from PSAC plus the $50 from CEIU Ontario region; and the days you picketed were determined by your statements on the google form local strike pay request, as verified against PSAC records.

It is the wish of CEIU Ontario region that all of its members who picketed receive a top up to their net pay for those days. As such, they will ensure CEIU local 581 has sufficient funds to top up all members of our local for their days on the picket line.

If you picketed, but have not yet filled out the google form and provided a supporting pay stub, it’s not too late to do so. Please provide the required information ASAP and we will work to verify that submission, and send out a top up cheque in due course.

As always, your local executive can be reached at localceiu581@gmail.com if you have any questions.
