MONCTON, NB. – The City of Moncton has signed a new collective agreement with its outside workers CUPE 51.
CUPE members have voted 80 per cent in favour of the new agreement.
“This agreement is a four-year extension of the current contract, which expires in December 2006,” explained CUPE 51 president Donnie Williams.
“The City had just ratified collective agreements with two others groups and a similar offer was put on the table for the outside workers.”
The new collective agreement includes a salary increase of 3 per cent for each of the four years of the new collective agreement and a 1 per cent increase for the remaining two years of the actual contract.
“We have also improved benefits for the casual workers and made some minor language changes”, concluded Williams.
