Government of Yukon and Yukon Employees’ Union ratify new collective agreement

The Government of Yukon values the work of the Yukon public service and is pleased to announce a new collective agreement in place with the Yukon Employees’ Union. The three-year agreement contains several updates and new provisions to benefit employees – including wage increases of 10.5 per cent over three years for members, in line with the recently negotiated agreement for federal public servants.

This was a particularly long round of collective bargaining as there were some significant factors, most notably the increased inflation rate and availability of the parties, that influenced negotiations.

The Yukon government has 120 days following ratification by the union membership to implement the new collective agreement, which covers approximately 3,515 employees. Once in place, the new agreement will be in effect until December 31, 2024.
