SaskPower And Workers Reach Agreement

The Saskatchewan Teachers Federation (STF) and the Province might be at a contractual impasse but a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) has been reached between SaskPower and UNIFOR.

“We are pleased that the members of Unifor have ratified this agreement,” Dustin Duncan, Minister Responsible for SaskPower said in a statement.

"This successful ratification shows that the best agreements are negotiated at the bargaining table,” Duncan said.

The new CBA was ratified by Unifor and SaskPower on February 14, 2024 and is retroactive to January 1, 2023. The agreement will see general wage increases of three per cent for 2023 and 2024, and two per cent for 2025.

“This is an agreement that works for SaskPower and for Unifor members, who provide many valuable services to our company,” said Kathryn Pollack, SaskPower Executive Vice President, People, Safety & Indigenous and Corporate Relations.
