By Rosalind Russell – The Town of Northeastern Manitoulin and is Unifor union members have reached a four-year deal.
Mayor Al McNevin says a special meeting was held last week by both sides to approve the contract.
He says it was a great opportunity to show how effective collective bargaining is when both sides come to the table with the best interests of the membership and the community in mind.
He adds the contract represents an opportunity to ensure our employees enjoy competitive wages and benefits in an environment where both employee retention and attraction are very difficult.
On behalf of Unifor, National Representative, Jerry Logan, says he is also pleased that the union negotiating team was able to negotiate a contract that protects the workers and provides for the needs of the members and their families.
Unifor Local 31-X represents both the Town’s inside and outside workers.
The new contract provides labour stability for the next four years which protects critical services such as water, sewer, road maintenance, garbage collection, recreation services and the general administration of the Town.
