P-11 Indexed Fees

Sponsor: Katie Oppen | Disposition: Referred to the Board of Directors

Whereas most other major unions have adopted an indexed fee schedule; and

Whereas PIPSC and other unions are leaders in social change for the betterment of their members and of Canadians; and

Whereas a demonstration of new policy can be effective in supporting similar changes on a larger scale;

Be it resolved that PIPSC do its part to reduce income inequality by putting in place indexed membership fees so that members with lower income pay slightly lower fees and members with higher income pay slightly higher fees.

Resolutions Sub-Committee Comments: No guidelines provided. Work would be needed to study a percentage based dues structure. Implementation would not be possible without approval of the AGM of a new dues structure, in accordance with BL 14.2.2.
