Our priority was to reach an agreement that was good for the public servants and the people we serve, the citizens of Saskatchewan. Both sides have been at the negotiating table since the previous agreement expired in October 2016. “Essential services laws, in their current form, make free collective bargaining virtually impossible.” “I welcome the commitment and cooperation between the two parties to work on a new collective agreement,” said Ken Cheveldayoff, Minister responsible for the Public Service Commission. The new agreement provides for wage increases of zero per cent, zero per cent, one per cent, two per cent (combination of pension and general wage increase), two per cent and two per cent over a six-year period. It will run from October 1, 2016 to September 30, 2022.

Members of the GSM bargaining committee will now work with the province to conclude the new collective agreement. It expires on September 30, 2022. The province and the Saskatchewan General Employees Union (SGEU) have agreed on a new collective agreement that provides for a seven per cent increase over six months. The agreement covers approximately 11,000 SGEU members who work as transport and equipment officers, prison officers, park officers, conservation officers, social workers and many other public sectors. We will continue to press for our members` workstations to be improved so that they can continue to provide the level at which our public service is known. 16.
