Civic workers in the city’s largest union have a new collective agreement.
At today’s council meeting, city councillors approved a 50-month contract for 4,600 civic workers, who are represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 500.
“These negotiations were difficult,” Mayor Brian Bowman said. “I want to thank the leadership of CUPE and its members.”
The contract, which expires Feb. 28, 2021, includes wage increases of 1.5 per cent in each of the first three years, but no increase in the last 14 months.
On June 29, CUPE members voted in favour of the deal. They had been without a collective agreement since the end of 2016, and the two sides had been negotiating since February. In May, they backed a strike mandate.
