Half of unionized workers heading into holiday under new contracts

The Province is calling it a milestone.  Half of unionized public sector workers are heading into the holiday season with new contracts.

They say another quarter have reached tentative agreements, or ratified settlements.

Finance Minister Mike De Jong says while all of the agreements include modest wage increases, there is no new money for large wage hikes.

De Jong says heading into the New Year with so many contracts settled is proof agreements can be achieved with controlled spending.
