Watson Lake Local Y045 is comprised of workers from TWO employers, or Bargaining Units. Prior to the 2018 merge, these units were known as YEU/PSAC Local Y028, Watson Lake & Tuchitua and as YEU/PSAC Local Y029, Town of Watson Lake. Each distinct Bargaining Unit operates under its own negotiated Collective Agreement, as listed below.
