Unifor Local 252 is defending the benefits, pension and wages of its 38 members working at Emerald Energy from Waste in Brampton, and last week began strike action against the company.
At issue is a company demand that members co-pay 20 per cent on all benefits, including dental. Currently, the company pays 100 per cent. The company also wants to a cap on its contributions to the pension plan.
On wages, the company wants to remove double time from the overtime language and to limit wage increases 0.75 per cent each year.
The strike began at 12:01am on July 3, almost a week after the strike/lock out deadline of June 27.
