City reaches deal with senior police officers' union

The City of Winnipeg has reached a labour deal with the Winnipeg Police Senior Officers’ Association, the union representing 26 members of the upper ranks of the Winnipeg Police Service.

On Wednesday, council will consider a plan to ratify a two-year deal that concludes on Dec. 19. The union has been without a deal since Dec. 19, 2010.

The terms of the deal will involve a 2.5-per-cent pay retroactive to Jan. 2, 2011 and three retroactive two-per-cent pay hikes – to July 3, 2011, Jan. 1, 2012 and July 1 of this year.

The much larger Winnipeg Police Association was awarded the same pay increases in April as part of an arbitrated settlement.

The cumulative cost of the senior-police union deal is $460,000, "which is within existing budget amounts," according to a report to council.
