On May 6, 2025 members of Dakota Ojibway Child & Family Services - Locals 435, 436 and 437, ratified a new four-year collective agreement (effective March 24, 2023 - March 24, 2027).

A few highlights of the new agreement include:

  • Wage increases each year of the agreement;
  • An additional step and a new 20-year step on the pay scale;
  • An additional family related leave day; and,
  • New severance pay language.

The next step in concluding the collective agreement is to work with the employer to finalize and sign-off the document, which could take some time.
