Your negotiating team met the employer on April 28, 29, 30 to begin and conclude bargaining. We focused on big wins in wages and benefits – and we did it!
Over three very respectful and incredibly productive days, we reached a tentative agreement. We feel this agreement meets our needs with the compensation we deserve for our service to the people of Bonnyville.
The highlights of the tentative agreement are:
- The wage grid will now have 8 steps instead of 11
- The increase between steps will now be 3% instead of 2%
- Once the above two increases are applied, we will see the following additional wage increases:
- Jan. 1, 2025 – 4%
- Jan. 1, 2026 – 4.5%
- Jan. 1, 2027 – 5%
- Orthodontic coverage will increase to $2500
- Boot allowance will increase to $600 per year
- $250 increase to our flex spending account to $1000.00 per year
- $200 allowance for pool employees will apply to swimsuits and/or non-slip shoes
- Acting incumbency pay will increase from 3% to 5%
- 15% discount on programs offered by the pool
Your negotiating team supports this tentative agreement, and we recommend ratification.
Voting will happen on May 21 from 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm. It will be in person, at Town Hall in the Council Chambers.
Please reach out to a member of your negotiating team with any questions or concerns.
