Two hundred and twenty-six employees at Moncton City Hall are now covered by a new contract agreement.
City Council has ratified a deal with members of the City Hall Employees Association (local 60200 of the Public Service Alliance of Canada) who are professional, technical and clerical employees, including civilian members managed by Codiac RCMP.
“Our inside workers offer a high level of dedicated service and contribute significantly to our organization and to our community’s quality of life,” said Mayor Dawn Arnold.
“This five-year agreement offers stability and ensures that we can continue to provide quality service to move our city forward.”
Negotiations have been ongoing since December since the previous contract expired at the end of 2020.
The agreement will see average wage increases of 1.65 percent annually over five years and improved contract language.
“We are pleased to see that this new agreement was reached in a respectful and professional manner,” added City Manager Marc Landry.
“Thank you to all those involved in working diligently and remotely throughout the negotiating process during the pandemic.”
The new deal is retroactive to January 1st and will expire at the end of 2025.
