"This new agreement firmly establishes the principle that this government intends to abide by standards higher even, than those required of private employers. In its relationship to the civil service, the Government of Saskatchewan now seeks to become a model employer. It has taken this step with the object of improving the conditions of its own employees and out of a desire to raise the standard of workers throughout the country."
- Tommy Douglas, Premier of Saskatchewan commenting on the first public service collective agreement in July 1945.
