Ameren bought the energy company about 32 years ago, and Local 1439 had been trying to negotiate pay equity since then, Pour said. The company entered into similar pay equity agreements with IBEW Locals 2 and 702 last year. The pay equity agreement was part of an amendment to the contract that also included improved sick leave language and additional leave for the 22 linemen who worked for Ameren in Potosi and Hayti in southern Missouri, said Jeremy Pour, local commercial manager of 1439. For the first time in more than 30 years, IBEW Local 1439 members working for South Ameren will receive the same salary as their North American cohorts for the same work. ”Our south Ameren members earned between $3,300 and $3,700 less than the base salary per year,” said Pour. ”Our members thought it was high time they received the same salary for the same work, and the company thought it was the right thing to do.” Save my name, email address, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. .
