No arbitration this time! Both sides are saying there was a positive effort made to ratify the new contract for City of Vernon firefighters. The city of Vernon and their unionized firefighters have reached a new deal. The firefighters will get a wage increase of 13.5 per cent over 3 years. Mayor Wayne Lippert says the outcome speaks to the dedication and hard work demonstrated daily by the firefighters and the value the City places on it. IAFF President, Brent Bond says a big step was taken to improve labour management relations between the two sides. He says the contract also includes provisions to increase job safety and ultimately improved service for the community.
