After voting to join UFCW 1006A earlier this year, members at Courtyard by Marriott hotel in Mississauga (Airport Corporate Centre West) have achieved a fair union contract.
The contract term is August 27, 2025 to August 26, 2030 and covers 35 members.
“The members are very happy and positive about our contract,” said Prashant Jhadav, a member of the negotiating committee. “Everyone is happy about the benefits, pay raises and job security – it was a great experience to participate in negotiations with the union representatives.”
This is the first UFCW 1006A contract for members at the hotel. Their former union was CLAC and the workers were unhappy with their representation and sought to join UFCW 1006A.
Members of the negotiating committee included members, Alvin Cayanan, Pauline James-Johnson, and Prashant Jhadav and Union Representatives, Joe Blythe and Greg Sibley.
“I’m excited to congratulate our members on their new contract,” said President Wayne Hanley. “I am proud to commend our negotiating committee for their tireless work in achieving a fair contract that meets the needs of the membership. UFCW representation is the pathway to building a better life for all workers and their families.”
Highlights
- Wage increases of $3.62 per hour over the term of the contract
- 2 additional sick days
- Improved language for housekeeping and room assignments
- Achieved language which ensures that 100 percent of gratuities are given to the staff
- Reduction to the discipline sunset clause (duration of time a discipline can be on a member's record) from 24 to 18 months
