Association of Management, Administrative and Professional Crown Employees of Ontario issued the following announcement on April 11.

Fresh on the heels of new agreements in other bargaining units (OAC, OFLSC), AMAPCEO members at the Office of the Provincial Advocate for Children and Youth (OPACY) recently voted to ratify their own new contract with their own significant gains.

Among other improvements, the Agreement includes:

an across-the-board increase of 1.5% retroactive to October 1, 2017;

across the board increases of 1% in each of April 2019, October 2019, April 2020, October 2020, April 2021 and October 2021;

an increase in the number of personal days from three to four; and

an increase in per-visit paramedical service entitlements.

“Congratulations to bargaining team members Arun Persaud and Sandy Wynia-Katz and Labour Relations unit staff Benjamin Rossiter and Gary Perlmutter for their hard work to secure this deal,” said President Dave Bulmer.
