Quotations

“The collective agreement we negotiated ensures a favourable outcome for Côte Saint-Luc and its white-collar employees. We came to important agreements on issues, such as making positions more equitable. For instance, lifeguards our indoor and outdoor pools will earn the same. As always, Côte Saint-Luc ensured that both the French and English versions of the agreement are official. This allows staff to read the agreement in their preferred language and speaks to the importance of bilingualism in Côte Saint-Luc. I want to thank our lead negotiator Associate City Manager and HR Director Nadia Di Furia, as well as General Counsel Andrea Charon, and Parks and Recreation Director Cornelia Ziga.” – Mitchell Brownstein, Mayor

“The negotiations went extremely well and would have been signed a year ago, however the pandemic halted everything. Negotiations resumed remotely in early 2021. The new agreement has made things clearer. I am proud of the work done by our team and grateful for the professionalism of the white-collar union. The two sides worked together for the success of the employees, which will ultimately benefit our residents.” – Jonathan Shecter, City Manager
