Town of Ponoka Ratifies One-Year Collective Agreement with IBEW Local 254
The Town of Ponoka is pleased to announce it has ratified a one-year collective agreement with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 254.
In recognition of the current economic climate, officials say the Town and IBEW Local 254 agreed to a one-year contract with a 1.75 per cent wage increase for 2019, which is intended to reflect cost of living increases.
If the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the Edmonton region exceeds 1.75 per cent in December 2019, that additional amount will be added to the 1.75 per cent wage increase for 2019.
For example, if the December 2019 CPI is 2 per cent, an additional wage increase of .25 per cent will be retroactively applied to all IBEW Local 254 wages for 2019.
