London City Council has ratified a new collective agreement with CUPE Local 101.
The collective agreement is for the term January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2026. It provides for wage increases of 3.2% in the first year, and 3.0 each year until 2026.
“Reaching an outcome like this requires hard work, respectful dialogue, and a commitment to shared values,” said Lynne Livingstone, City Manager. “The programs and services that our employees deliver each and every day provide exceptional value to our community. I am so pleased with the collaborative efforts that delivered an agreement that supports our employees, respects organizational needs, and ultimately supports our ability to offer the best possible municipal services to Londoners.”
“CUPE Local 101 is proud of the work both sides worked on to get a fair contract,” said CUPE 101 President, Steve Holland. “Both sides worked hard to achieve an outcome that respects the members of Local 101, the Corporation and the people of the City of London.”
CUPE Local 101 is the Corporation’s largest bargaining unit representing over 800 full-time and part-time permanent and temporary employees, typically referred to as inside workers. These employees are involved in a wide range of work including among others governance, financial support, information services, planning, social services, building code inspections and enforcement.
