Plympton-Wyoming Ratifies Deal With Outside Workers

The town of Plympton-Wyoming has ratified a new four year contract agreement with its public roads maintenance employees.

The eight workers, represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees, are responsible for the municipality's roads including snow removal and water and sewer maintenance.

Mayor Lonny Napper says they'll get wage increases totalling 4.5 per cent over the four years.
