Unifor Local 103 members working at Ontario Northland Transportation Commission ratify tentative agreement.

"This ratified agreement shows what a strong and united membership can accomplish at the bargaining table," said Lana Payne, Unifor National President. "Congratulations to the bargaining committee and to every Local 103 member for their dedication in achieving such a great collective agreement."

Highlights of the new contract include across-the-board wage increases, lump-sum payments, skill trade adjustments, and improved shift premiums and benefits, setting a new standard for worker compensation and well-being.

"Our negotiations, backed by member surveys and a historic 96.3% strike mandate, stayed true to our mission—achieving a contract that respects our members' value,” said Jeremy Rodgers, President of Unifor Local 103. “This ratified agreement is a significant victory for all Ontario Northland members.”

Unifor represents more than 420 unionized employees at Ontario Northland Transportation Commission working in clerical, on-board service, hotel staff at Cochrane Station Inn and shops throughout Northern Ontario.
