The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador has reached a tentative collective agreement with the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Association (RNCA). This collective agreement is subject to ratification by approximately 400 RNCA members.

The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Association will be presenting this tentative agreement to membership in the coming weeks. In order to respect the ratification process, details on the collective agreement will be released upon ratification.

To date the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador has successfully negotiated the majority of its collective agreements with its public sector unions. As collective bargaining continues with a number of public service unions, the Provincial Government is continuing to diligently work to secure agreements through progressive and respectful negotiations.
