Beem Credit Union – Escalating our Fight for Fair Wage Placement
September 12, 2025
To: All MoveUP members at Beem Credit Union
Dear MoveUP members working at BEEM,
You’ve waited patiently — and we want you to know we’ve been hard at work behind the scenes.
Since our last update in May, we’ve been working with our legal counsel to action our grievance in the fastest and strongest way to challenge the employer’s wage placement decisions. At our Stage 3 hearing, your employer disagreed with our position and denied our grievance.
As a result, we have escalated the case to arbitration and have appointed Arbitrator Ken Saunders to hear the case. Arbitrator Saunders is a highly sought after arbitrator known for his ability to make fair and reasonable decisions. Arbitrator Saunders will make a ruling based on the facts and our collective agreement.
What are the next steps?
We will be working with legal counsel to prepare for arbitration. The parties may consider a mediation prior to a full hearing.
We have no intentions of reaching a settlement that does not achieve what we want for our members. This isn’t just about numbers on a pay grid — it’s about fairness, respect, and holding your employer accountable.
We understand this process has been frustrating. You deserve a fair resolution and we’re fighting to get it.
If you have questions or need to talk, my inbox is open.
In solidarity,
Ronnie Ho
Union Representative
