As I recall, salaried paycuts didn't occur per se. What I recall was ending the retiree medical for the salaried group (the medical coverage from an early retirement age to medicare coverage) was taken from the salaried employees (as they preferred per a vote, again, if I remember correctly). I find this particularly humerous as this is really some pretty crappy insurance the TWU fought to retain for its people in "their best interests".
According to a supervisor, the salaried boys and girls (below director level) were handed a paycut and almost immediately given the money back in the form of a raise after having lost the wonderous retirement medical insurance - he seemed to feel it happened only to be a slap in the workers' face.
