Modest Pay Hike Approved By Council

A small pay hike for non-unionized staff with the City of Dryden.
Council has approved a 1.75% this year, with no increases in year two and three of the contract.
Mayor Craig Nuttall says he appreciates the work done by staff but notes they have to bite the bullet right now and clamp down financially.
Nuttall says pay freezes are the way of life across Ontario right now and notes Council hasn’t seen an increase in years.
He notes both sides need to take a leadership role.
