Unionized workers at the Village of Montrose have a new collective agreement.
According to a news release from CUPE, the three-year deal for members of Local 2087 runs until March 2029 and includes wage increases of 4.5 percent in the first year, four per cent in the second, and four per cent in the third. The union said key improvements include increased paramedical and dental coverage, as well as additional funding for the wellness program.
“This agreement shows what can happen when both sides focus on finding solutions,” unit chair Hailey Knott said in the release. “Through respectful and collaborative dialogue, we were able to reach an agreement that supports workers and strengthens the services our community depends on.”
However, a deal remains elusive in another Beaver Valley municipality. Fruitvale workers have voted unanimously to take strike action, although they have not provided strike notice.
