Synopsis Grievants are employed by Respondent as Economic Service Workers. Grievants alleged pay disparity after an Economic Service Worker position was posted at above the minimum starting salary. The posting was removed and Respondent’s human resources director asserts the posting above the minimum was an error. Although Grievants assert Respondent removed the posting it still intends to hire new employees above the minimum, that assertion is speculative. The grievance is moot and that any decision would be advisory. Accordingly, the grievance is dismissed.
