A group of workers at the National Arts Centre has ratified a contract settlement negotiated by the Public Service Alliance of Canada, dispelling the spectre of a strike.
The 76 employees, who work in maintenance, security, parking and as trades people, voted Monday to accept the settlement, reached Friday night after years of bargaining.
The agreement, which is retroactive to December 2011 and will expire in three months, provides a total wage increase of 5.25 per cent over three years, according to PSAC spokesman Alroy Fonseca. It also provides for pay grade increases for three positions.
In line with Treasury Board policy, the new collective agreement eliminates severance benefits for employees who retire or leave their job voluntarily. Employees will be cashed out of accumulated severance, Fonseca said in an email.
“We’re thrilled,” said NAC spokeswoman Rosemary Thompson. “Our maintenance and our parking and our trades people do a terrific job. It’s been a long time coming and we’re really thrilled that everybody worked so hard to reach this settlement.”
Earlier this month, the workers voted overwhelmingly in favour of strike action. They had been in a legal strike position since Sept. 24.
Thompson said the NAC board of trustees will vote on the agreement at a meeting this week.
