After two days of face-to-face meetings CUPE 882 and the City of Prince Albert have reached a tentative agreement. The tentative agreement includes cost shared vision care for permanent employees and optional coverage for non-permanent employees to join the cost shared Employee Family Assistance Program. In addition, the pay bands will be adjusted to bring the lowest paid workers above minimum wage.

The City of Prince Albert says when the union membership votes on Friday it will be for a wage increase that is within the 11.5 per cent mandate originally offered by the employer.

The union began job action on August 10, with a full withdrawal of services starting on September 11. The full withdrawal of services has impacted service levels at City Hall, EA Rawlinson Centre for the Arts, Frank Dunn Pool, Alfred Jenkins Field House, and the Art Hauser Centre.
