WAA Strike is over
An agreement has been reached to bring striking WAA employees back to work. The agreement was reached after extensive negotiations on the weekend and was ratified by union members at a vote on October 4, 2017.
The new collective agreement includes a 10 percent salary increase over the 6 years of the agreement that will expire June 30, 2022. The new agreement also provides a healthcare spending account, increases to the overtime meal rate and standby pay, modernizes terminology, and removes some pre-existing redundant language in the contract.
