The 420,000 workers who are part of the Public Sector Common Front will be asked to decide on an agreement in principle in the coming weeks.
The Common Front confirmed on Sunday that at the end of the meetings which took place within its intermediate bodies, the possible settlement concluded at the end of December with the Treasury Board constitutes an agreement in principle which will be presented to its members.
The agreement in principle which will be submitted to members provides for salary increases of 17.4% over five years, including 6% in the first year and a purchasing power protection clause for the last three years of the employment contract.
It also contains improvements to group insurance. As for the pension plan, the Common Front argued that some improvements have been obtained and that major setbacks have been avoided.
Worker consultation meetings will be held from mid-January to mid-February.
Common Front union members, which include the CSQ, APTS, CSN and FTQ, walked off the job for 11 days in November and December.
More details will follow.
