City non union staff to get wage increase

Non-Union staff with the City of Kenora will be getting a raise this year.

Kenora City council is planning to approve a 2.7 percent wage increase for 2011 at its next open meeting.

The City's human resources manager, Sharon McDowall says the increase is less than unionized workers in the city, who will get a three percent increase this year.

Some non-union workers are eligible for a move on the salary grid this year, but that's considered a performance based increase.
