Seven unions representing over 20,000 employees at the city of Ottawa are calling on Mayor Mark Sutcliffe and the city to invest in "the municipal services and workers that the city relies on."
The finance and corporate services committee voted to draft the 2024 budget with a maximum 2.5 per cent property tax increase, along with a hike in transit fares, water rates and other fees. "City workers are striving to do more with less in the context of increased community demand and previous rounds of cuts," the unions said in a media release.
The letter is signed by the Ottawa Police Association, Ottawa Professional Firefighters Association – Local 162, Amalgamated Transit Union Locals 279 and 1760, the Civic Institute of Professional Personnel, and CUPE locals 503 and 5500 representing inside and outside workers at Ottawa City Hall.
