ST. JOHN’S—Members of Unifor Local 2121 have ratified a four-year collective agreement that boasts an 11.75 per cent increase over the life of the contract.
“Unifor is Canada’s energy union,” said Jerry Dias, Unifor National President. “Workers on Hibernia help generate incredible wealth and they’ve earned the significant wage increase.”
Unifor represents nearly 400 workers on the Hibernia, the world’s largest offshore oil platform off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador. The new agreement strengthens the shift differential, incentive bonuses, travel reimbursement, and vacation entitlements. The contract, including the wage increase, is part of Unifor’s national Energy Pattern Agreement negotiated nationally and implemented across the country.
“Every job on Hibernia is a difficult job,” said Linda MacNeil, Unifor’s Atlantic Regional Director. “The bargaining committee should be very proud of what they’ve accomplished for their members.”
