City of Revelstoke and CUPE 363 Workers Reach Agreement

Revelstoke, BC – The City of Revelstoke and CUPE 363 are pleased to announce that a two-year agreement has been reached, representing all municipal workers in Revelstoke.

The settlement was tentatively reached following collective bargaining between the Union and the City management bargaining team. Last week, CUPE 363 ratified and accepted the terms of the agreement and City Council made a resolution during their February 13, 2024 In Camera Council meeting.

“CUPE 363 members are proud to serve Revelstoke. We are pleased to have reached an agreement that will support members in meeting the increased cost of living in the community while continuing to provide a high level of public service to our residents,” said Joel Martin, president of CUPE 363.

Evan Parliament, Chief Administrative Officer for the City, stated, “We are pleased that our partner has ratified this agreement. The City of Revelstoke remains committed to be the “Employer of Choice” and the new CUPE Collective Agreement highlights that commitment very well”.

In addition to improved benefits, wage increases outlined in the settlement are as follows:

  • January 1, 2024 1.25 % cost of living increase
  • January 1, 2024 4.0 %
  • January 1, 2025 4.0 %

The terms of the agreement are comparable to municipalities throughout British Columbia. CUPE 363 represents approximately 115 outside and inside workers at Public Works, and working in various municipal facilities including City Hall, the RCMP, Parks, Recreation & Culture and Public Works Administrative offices.
