A majority of the inside and outside unionized workers in Stratford are under now a new agreement.

Stratford City Council agreed on Monday to three-year collective agreements with the Canadian Union of Public Employees Locals 1385 and 197.

The agreements are effective from January 2018 through to the end of 2020 and have been ratified by both locals.
