Castlegar civic workers ratify new contract

CASTLEGARโ€” CUPE 2262 members, who work for the City of Castlegar, have overwhelmingly ratified a new collective agreement Thursday, averting a possible strike.

โ€œOur members love serving the community they work and live in, but equally need to be able to support themselves and their families amid a rapidly rising cost of living,โ€ says CUPE 2262 President Dustin LePage.

Though the union had taken a strike vote, negotiations between the parties ended on a positive note with the union crediting the City for coming to the table this week with a collaborative approach.

โ€œAlthough we did experience some bumps along the way, we feel that the relationship between the parties has grown stronger through bargaining, leaving us better able to work together for the benefit of the community,โ€ said LePage.

The new three-year deal provides wage increases of 4.75 percent, 4 percent, and 3.25 percent respectively, as well as improved employee benefits, more flexible workdays, and vacation improvements.

CUPE Local 2262 represents approximately 45 workers who provide public community services for residents, visitors and businesses in the City of Castlegar.โ€ฏ
