Saskatoon police settle contract with much smaller raises

The Saskatoon Police Association has agreed to much more modest raises in its latest contract than in its previous one.
The police union and the Saskatoon board of police commissioners have ratified a three-year agreement that runs to the end of 2019, a news release from the board says.
The contract, which is retroactive to Jan. 1, 2017, offers cumulative increases of 6.5 per cent, including an increase of 1.30 per cent at the start of 2017 and a Dec. 1, 2017 increase of 1.45 per cent.
