Members of Unifor Local 2107 employed by Sodexo at Acadia University in Wolfville, N.S., voted in favour of a new three-year collective agreement that sees wage increases and improved language.
“Congratulations to the bargaining committee at Local 2107 for securing a good deal for members,” said Atlantic Regional Director Jennifer Murray. “The committee persevered through a very challenging round to make important gains for custodial workers.”
Wages go up $0.55 in the first and second years, and $0.75 in the third year. The committee was able to maintain monetary negotiations in dollar values and away from percentage increases that the employer held onto until conciliation.
There is improved language for health and safety, job postings, and additional duties covered by premiums.
This was the first round of bargaining for this group that had to go to conciliation and where the membership took a strike vote (90%).
Local 2107 represents 66 members working in Sodexo custodial services at Acadia University.
