pAbout 4,300 members in Oshawa, St. Catharines and Woodstock, Ont. voted 80.5 per cent in favour of the deal that promises pay increases of nearly 20 per cent for longtime workers over the three-year term./p
Unifor members at General Motors Canada voted this weekend to ratify a tentative agreement with the automaker secured last week after a brief strike.
Unifor’s bargaining committee and GM negotiators finalized a tentative deal Oct. 10, about 12 hours after workers at the Oshawa Assembly Plant, St. Catharines Propulsion Plant and Woodstock Parts Distribution Centre set up picket lines. The short-lived strike was the first walkout for GM Canada workers governed by the union’s master agreement with the automaker since 1996.
“Together, we’ve secured a deal that recognizes the many contributions of our 4,200 represented team members through significant increases in wages, benefits, and job security, while positioning GM Canada to remain competitive in the future.”
