The Executive Committee considered grievances with regard to the Living Cost Differential provisions contained in the Isolated Posts Directive. The Living Cost Differential is calculated according to methodologies that are part of the Isolated Posts Directive, a National Joint Council (NJC) collective agreement. Both the Bargaining Agent and Employer Sides of the NJC's Isolated Posts and Government Housing Committee have agreed to these methodologies.

The Living Cost Differential levels for isolated posts in the Northwest Territories were determined in accordance with accepted methodology. Therefore, the Executive Committee agreed that the grievors were treated within the intent of the Directive.

The grievance was denied.
