Further, when it says retroactive, staff who were on strike get back pay for the past 11 days (incl. tomorrow assuming buses are not deployed)? Just curious - you always hear, "those striking are going without pay"...but I always wondered if they would get paid retroactively...
I would assume the “retroactive” means they get the pay increase for the work they did from January 1 to when the strike started, not just from when work starts after the strike.
Obviously, they should not be paid (by GRT) for the work that they would have done during the strike, but didn’t, because they were on strike. I believe they get strike pay from the union, although I get the impression that is usually much lower than normal pay.
What actually happens I don’t actually know.
