The 400 exam supervisors receive minimum wage, which is $11.25 per hour.

The institution’s latest offer included a salary raise to $11.43 per hour for exam supervisors and $12.19 per hour for chief examination supervisors, the president of the union, Alexandre St-Onge-Perron, said Friday.

Earlier this year, 4,000 salaried students from the Université de Montréal had obtained the sought-after $15 per hour, for which several unions and social groups are fighting. These are contract students who work as research assistants, teaching assistants or technical assistants.
