IAM Local Lodge 907, whose members work for the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (PIPSC), have ratified their first Collective Agreement with the IAM.

Highlights include:

  • annual wage increases;
  • pension improvements;
  • plus several other monetary and language improvements.

“The members at PIPSC stood united throughout the process and were prepared to take the necessary steps, including a strike, if needed, to secure an agreement that respected their dedication and hard work,” said IAM Representative Ralph Martin.

“The leadership of the committee (Matthew Way, Marie-Helene Tougas, and Heather Kohli) did an excellent job in maintaining their focus and keeping the membership from wavering in this very difficult set of negotiations.”
