IAM members working in Ground Operations at Wasaya Airways in Thunder Bay have ratified a new three-year collective agreement that brings important gains and protections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new deal introduces a new pay scale with Consumer Price Index (CPI) protection, ensuring members\u2019 wages keep pace with inflation. Members will receive a 3\u20135% increase on ratification, followed by 1.5\u20133% annual increases in Years 2 and 3, depending on the Ontario CPI rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other improvements include enhanced pension contributions based on years of service, the introduction of 10 federal sick days in the collective agreement (with up to 5 paid out annually if unused) and increases to per diems and shoe and boot allowances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis agreement reflects our members\u2019 hard work and dedication,<\/em>\u201d said Chris Greniuk, General Chairperson at IAM Union. \u201cWe were committed to achieving a fair deal that recognized the rising cost of living and the critical role our members play in keeping Wasaya operations running safely and efficiently.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n With this deal, IAM members continue to strengthen their position and ensure their voices are heard at the bargaining table.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" IAM members working in Ground Operations at Wasaya Airways in Thunder Bay have ratified a new three-year collective agreement that brings important gains and protections.
