Saskatchewan doctors ratify five-year contract
Saskatchewan’s doctors officially have a new deal with the province.
In a media release Wednesday, the provincial government and the Saskatchewan Medical Association (SMA) announced the physicians had ratified a five-year contract. A tentative agreement had been reached in mid-July.
The deal calls for an average salary increase of one per cent per year from April 1, 2017 to March 31, 2022.
More than 90 per cent of doctors who cast ballots voted in favour of the deal.
