The Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association says it's extremely disappointed that the federal government has not yet committed to paying the retroactive salary of Saskatchewan's RCMP officers.
Thousands of Mounties will see their salaries rise thanks to the first collective agreement in RCMP history. Last summer, the federal government and the union representing RCMP members ratified an agreement to deliver a sizeable pay increase to nearly 20,000 members.
"We were not at the table for those negotiations — municipalities were not included. And we feel that it's the federal government that did those negotiations, they should be picking up the cost of the retroactive pay," said SUMA president Randy Goulden. Beginning April 1, constables — who account for more than half of all Canadian RCMP officers — will earn up to $106,576 — a jump of $20,000 since April 2016.
