The new five-year agreement provides for:
- the inclusion of teleworking in the collective agreement
- progressive improvements to the pension plan
- salary increases for the five years of the agreement
- 12 sick days per year
- an additional benefit applicable to maternity, paternity, and parental leave

"As mayor, I am particularly proud of the signing of this agreement. It brings stability and certainty to our organization. Employee retention is important to the Council, as they are the pillars of a healthy municipality and essential to the quality of life of our residents. This agreement will certainly enable all unionized employees to enjoy generous and accommodating conditions," said Chelsea Mayor Pierre Guénard.
"I'm delighted to sign this new agreement, which reflects our commitment to our employees. They are essential to the success of our projects and to the vitality of the municipality. I would like to thank the negotiating team, who worked in a spirit of cooperation and respect to reach an agreement that suits all parties," said the Municipality's Director General, Sheena Ngalle Miano.
