Full-time workers at Nuance Group duty-free at Pearson International Airport in Toronto have ratified their first contract.
“Congratulations to the bargaining committee and these new Local 2002 members on their first collective agreement,” said Unifor National President Lana Payne. “We are so happy to have you as part of our aviation worker family.”
The agreement ratified by 96% last week.
The three-year contract includes wage increases over each year of the agreement, an amended wage scale, improvements to benefits, and improvements to the grievance process including expedited arbitration language, as well as layoff/recall language.
The 135 full-time members at Nuance include boutique and warehouse workers who are responsible for a wide range of duties, from cashiers and customer service to roles such as beauty advisors, specialty boutique sales associates, and warehouse personnel.
Nuance is part of Avolta AG – a global travel retailer with operations in 63 countries and 200 airports.
“On behalf of the Unifor Local 2002 executive board, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all Nuance members on the successful ratification of your first collective agreement,” said Tammy Moore, Unifor Local 2002 President.
“This is a significant achievement and a testament to your unwavering solidarity and determination to securing a fair and respectful contract. Your shared strength has set a strong foundation for ongoing improvements and has reaffirmed the value of standing together as a union. We welcome you with pride into the broader Unifor Local 2002 family and look forward to supporting you as you continue to build on this success.”
