Members of Unifor Local 2216 ratified a new 4-year collective agreement on Saturday, March 5, 2022.
Local President Lee Gee and Unit Chairperson Clinton Pothier said they are happy with the work of the bargaining committee to reach a new agreement that sees wage increases of 3.5% in the first year (retroactive to March 1, 2021) and 3% each year until February 28, 2025.
“This is a strong agreement for Eden Valley workers,” said Linda MacNeil, Atlantic Regional Director. “The bargaining committee should be commended for prioritizing workers’ mental health needs, and securing additional paid days off by adding to stat holidays, paid sick days, and bereavement day allotments.”
The agreement, covering 288 members, also strengthened Union Representation and Health and Safety Committee language.
