It features a two per cent annual increase for the first 4 years, which would be from 2012 to 2015, with smaller increases until 2018.

“I’m very please with the agreement. I’m very pleased because it’s a win-win situation,” said Montreal mayor Denis Coderre.
The contract also includes changes to the pension plan, as demanded by the provincial government.
