The City of Melfort has reached an agreement with the union representing its workers.

The three-year collective bargaining agreement between the city and CUPE Local 777 will see employees covered under the agreement receive a 3 per cent wage increase in 2024, a 4 per cent hike in 2025, and a 3.5 per cent increase for 2026.

The agreement also resulted in a slight increase in the employee benefit package.

“This agreement stands as a testament to our community to foster relationships with our employees, while ensuring the efficient delivery of essential services to our community,” said Mayor Glenn George.
