Earlier this month, Alberta Mediation Services published their November 2025 Bargaining Update.
The monthly update reports on collective agreement settlement information that Mediation Services received during the month of the update, which in this case was November 2025.
Last month, Mediation Services received settlement information regarding 36 bargaining relationships encompassing 36,859 workers. There were 22 private sector and 14 public sector settlements, covering 2,251 and 34,608 workers, respectively.
One of those settlements were for 5 workers employed by PGW Auto Glass.
Based out of the United States, PGW Auto Glass is a supplier of auto glass and shop accessories, with more than 100 distribution branches throughout the U.S. and Canada, including in Calgary, where these workers are employed.
These workers are members of Local 177 of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades, otherwise known as the Glaziers and Glassworkers Division. They include installers, warehouse leads, and delivery drivers.
The previous collective agreement for these workers expired at the end of this past August. The new collective agreement was ratified the following month, in September.
The new collective agreement brings with it some wage increases in each year of its 3-year duration.
| Warehouse lead | Delivery driver | |
|---|---|---|
| Previous | $23.41 | $20.55 |
| 1 August 2025 | $26.52 | $21.55 |
| 1 August 2026 | $27.05 | $22.55 |
| 1 August 2027 | $27.59 | $23.55 |
There are also increases for new hires, too.
| Previous | New | |
|---|---|---|
| New hire | $17.68 | $18.68 |
| 1st anniversary | $18.12 | $20.30 |
| 2nd anniversary | $18.57 | $21.93 |
The new wages for each anniversary remain frozen during the contract, but individual workers will get wage increases the longer they are with PGW.
These were the only changes I could find in the new collective agreement.
