Five new collective agreements have been reached between Ontario Northland and the Canadian Auto Workers Local 103.
The union represents more than 400 Ontario Northland employees including clerical, on-board service, shop craft, hotel staff, as well as, stores and yard office staff, throughout Ontario Northland's service territory. More than 70 per cent of members voted in favour of the new contracts.
“These new agreements demonstrate the high level of commitment of both parties to work together through challenging times to sustain the organization for the future,” said CEO and President Paul Goulet.
The contract, valid to Dec. 31, 2013, provides a wage increase across all CAW agreements of 0.5 per cent in year three plus a 1.5 per cent maximum for cost of living allowance.
“We are pleased that all five agreements have been ratified,” said Brian Kelly, President of CAW Local 103.
