The Saint John Transit Commission and Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1182 have reached a new three-year collective agreement.
The deal, which was ratified January 10, was announced during Monday night’s Common Council meeting.
All transit union workers will receive a 1.036 per cent raise retroactive to Jan. 2, 2020, with a zero per cent raise in 2021. The 2022 wage increase will follow the city’s wage escalation policy.
Transit Commission Chair Trish Ellsworth said they were pleased with the agreement.
“The measures set forth will continue to contribute to strengthening the delivery of public transit as a professional, efficient, and affordable service,” said Ellsworth. “I want to thank those involved in seeing the negotiation process through.”
