Canadian union Unifor on Monday said its members at General
Motors Co. facilities in St. Catharines, Oshawa and Woodstock voted
to ratify a new three-year collective agreement.
The union said the new agreement includes a 5% increase to their
hourly rate, a productivity and quality bonus, inflation protection
bonuses, improved benefits, shift premiums, and restoration of the
20% differential for skilled trades.
GM and the union will also create an anti-racism action plan and
will "establish a new Racial Justice Advocate in the
workplace."
Jerry Dias, Unifor's national resident, said "This contract
solidifies and boldly builds on GM's Canadian footprint, with a
$1.3 billion dollar investment that brings 1,700 jobs to Oshawa
plus more than $109 million to in-source new transmission work for
the Corvette and support continued V8 engine production in St.
Catharine."
