Deal covers six municipal employees
Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) 2087 municipal workers and the Village of Montrose in British Columbia both voted in favour of ratifying a new collective agreement July 10.
The three-year agreement includes wage increases of $0.65 in each year of the contract, a modest increase to the footwear and working clothing allowance as well as a premium for trades work, said the union.
The new agreement runs from March 1, 2017 to Feb. 29, 2020.
“We are pleased that both parties came to the table prepared to bargain which led to a quick and productive round of contract negotiations,” said Jean Poole, CUPE 2087 president. “We look forward to continuing to work with the Village as their partner in providing important community services to residents and businesses.”
CUPE 2087 represents six municipal workers who provide a range of services to residents and businesses in the Village of Montrose.
