“The respectful, professional and swift negotiations for this agreement represent a growth in the relationship between the Association and the City.” WPA members will be getting a 5.8 per cent wage increase over three years (1.65 per cent in 2021, 1.85 per cent in 2022 and 2.3 per cent in 2023). Terms of the agreement will run retroactively to Jan. 1, 2021 as negotiations were postponed to Feb. 11, 2021 due to the municipal election in November 2020. The agreement also includes clarity of certain terms and conditions, such as Worker Compensation Benefits. The new agreement was signed May 3, and wages were based on comparisons to other Saskatchewan police associations. “In Weyburn, we have a police service that believes in the motto ‘Working Together for a Safer Community,’ and this was reflected in the professionalism that members on the bargaining team took,” said Ron McCormick, chair of the Board of Police Commissioners.
