   	"SOCIAL CONTRACT" UPDATE



The 1993 "Social Contract" affects CUASA members from May 1, 1993 to April

30, 1996.  Collective bargaining is not permitted until 1996.  During this

period, with the exception of promotions, no scale, CDI or benefit

improvements are permitted.



The "Social Contract" calls for up to 12 days of unpaid leave each year. 

Unpaid leave has been ameliorated by using pension surplus to reduce

pension premium

deductions.  The "Social Contract" year is April 1 to March 31.

The increases form May 1/93 to April 30/94 was 2.4% (scale) plus 2.1%

(CDI) plus 4.37%  (average pension contribution reduction)  =   9.87% plus

LTDI savings.     The Rae Days deduct 2.11% from this for a total increase

of 7.75%.



The increase in net pay for May 1/94 to April 30/95 was 3.08% (pension

reduction)  plus LTDI  (est. between = and 1%)  =  3.58 to 4.08%  est 

plus  Group Life reduction.   The Raw Days deduct 1.73%  from 3.58 to

4.08% for a total increase of between 1.85 and 2.35% plus Optional Group

Life savings.



The increase  in  net pay effective May 1/95 will be 2.29% minimum.  This

increase in pay results  from  the pension contribution being met  from

surplus and not from your paycheque.   Effective  April 1, 1996 you will 

resume paying 6% instead of 3.5% to the pension plan so your net pay will

decrease at that  point.  The surplus has been used (instead of deductions

from salary) to pay your pension contribution thereby fully protecting

your pension.
