The City of Quinte West has reached a new collective agreement with its professional firefighters.
Both parties say they’re excited to reach the deal in just one day and that the agreement addresses the needs on both sides.
The deal, which runs retroactive to January of this year through December of 2020, includes annual pay increases of 1.8% and upgrades to vision care and retiree benefits.
The city’s career firefighters were without a contract since the previous deal expired on December 31, 2017.
