Lu’ma Native Housing Society – COVID-19 Mitigation Update #3

We are in ongoing discussions with the employer regarding COVID-19 mitigation.

Here is what we can report today:

Essential Work Premium has been implemented for all essential public-facing employees headquartered out of Nanaimo. All public-facing Nanaimo employees (such as maintenance, janitorial and security) shall be provided a $4.83 per hour top up for all hours worked. This premium is not applicable to vacation leave, sick leave and statutory holidays. This top-up shall remain in place for 8 weeks at minimum, and we have agreed to meet with the employer before May 1st to discuss extending the premium for an additional 8 weeks if required.

In solidarity,

Nathan Beausoleil, Union Representative
