The City of Kitchener for example, is also having a difficult time retaining employees because of more attractive pay in neighbouring communities, and is undergoing a salary review. So Windsor is behind the ball again. If the City is having trouble attracting bright and talented individuals, then maybe the problem isn't salaries??? People are leaving the City because of poor morale, idle hands, no budgets to do anything other than say "yes Mr. Mayor". Fix that problem first. Then the salaries.
