WAPSO/IFPTE Local 162 Secures Favourable Arbitration Award

Following several months in the interest arbitration process, WAPSO/IFPTE Local 162 has secured a favourable decision, resulting in a new collective bargaining agreement covering the 2024–2027 term. 

The award delivers general wage increases totaling 12.75% over the life of the agreement (cumulatively equating to around 13.43% across 4 years) - a strong outcome that reinforces fair and competitive compensation for WAPSO members. 

All individuals who were members of the WAPSO bargaining unit during the term of the new agreement are eligible for retroactive pay, in accordance with the award. 

The results proved to be worth the wait and reflect a positive step forward for the Local.
