Members ratify new contract

PSAC members of the PA group have ratified the proposed collective agreement. The four year contract includes a $4000 lump sum payment and salary increases of 2.3% in the first year and 1.5% in each of the following three.

The agreement also contains improvements to the Workforce Adjustment provisions as well as a memorandum of understanding on the issue of classification reform in the PA group.

“Our union is proud of achieving these agreements which contain some significant gains and no concessions,” says PSAC national president John Gordon. “We were able to make these breakthroughs because of the 18 months of hard work put in by our bargaining teams and the collective actions of our members, especially under a challenging bargaining environment.”
