Members working for the Royal Canadian Mint voted in favour of ratifying their tentative agreement after participating in ratifications votes in September. The agreement secures fair wages, better work-life balance, and improved job security.

The four-year collective agreement for over 600 members in the Royal Canadian Mint bargaining group expires on December 31, 2025.

Improvements to the Royal Canadian Mint agreement include:  

• Wages that close the gap with inflation and a $2,500 lump sum payment; 
• Employee rights around remote work arrangements;  
• Increase in vacation carryover from five to seven days; 
• More clarity on term employees. 

Next steps  

In the coming weeks, PSAC will meet with employer representatives to sign the new collective agreement and have it translated. All non-monetary terms came into effect as of the final ratification vote on September 21, 2023. 

The employer has 60 days from the signing of the contract to implement wage increases, lump sum payments, and retroactive pay.
