About 1,200 unionized workers in Saanich, B.C., have agreed on a new contract with the municipality, which will be in effect until the end of 2024.
The workers, represented by CUPE Local 2011, had been bargaining with the district for months and in August, 94 per cent of members voted in favour of possible strike action after negotiations hit a roadblock.
The contract includes improved benefits and premiums as well as a wage increase of 25 cents per hour, plus a general 3.25 per cent wage increase in the first year, a four per cent increase in the second year and a 3.5 per cent increase in the third year. The unionized employees work in a range of fields, including roads, parks, sanitation, water, wastewater and support for police and fire services, according to CUPE Local 2011.
