The STM reaches agreement with the Syndicat du
personnel administratif, technique et professionnel du transport en commun
(SCFP-2850-FTQ)
Montreal, November 11, 2003
– At a general meeting this evening, members of the union
representing administrative, technical and professional public transit
personnel (SCFP-2850-FTQ) agreed to a new four-year job contract. This
agreement respects the STM's negotiation parameters and calls for wage
increases of 8.7 % over four years: 0 % in 2003, 2 % in 2004, 2.5 % in 2005
and 2.5 % in 2006. Various changes were made to the collective agreement in
order to provide, among other things, certain conditions for temporary
employees comparable to those for regular employees. In addition, the two
parties have agreed to the approval of a new job evaluation programme that
respects the Pay Equity Act. The chairman
of the board of directors, Mr. Claude Dauphin, is pleased with this second
settlement and hopes to conclude agreements soon with the three other unions
that are currently in negotiation: Syndicat du transport de Montréal-CSN
(maintenance employees), the Syndicat des professionnels de la STM and the
Syndicat des travailleurs de la STM-CSN (divisional clerks).
