On October 6th, 2025 PSAC/UNW members working at the City of Yellowknife as Municipal Enforcement Officers ratified the tentative collective agreement with an overwhelming majority.
As a reminder, the following gains were made in this round of bargaining:
- Wage gains of 16.5% over four years, well exceeding inflation.
- An increase to evening shift premiums.
- A commitment to a reclassification processs for Municipal Enforcement Officers designed to ensure you are paid appropriately for the work you do.
- An increase in paternity leave top up from 10 to 15 weeks.
- Improvements in the definition of family.
- Improved casual leave
- Improved boot allowance for MEO IIs and IIIs
The support you provided your Bargaining Team and the outreach you did in the community played a large role in the successes achieved at the table. A further update will be provided once the Union receives notice that the City Council has ratified the agreement for the Employer.
In solidarity,
Your Bargaining Team
