Members at Laura’s YIG ratified a new contract with gains to wages. Ratified on June 12, 2016, the six year agreement expires on June 12, 2021 and covers 74 workers.
Your shift is done but there is still work to be finished. Should you stay or should you go?
Before you make a decision, know that working off the clock is costing you money. A half-hour before your shift, and 15 minutes after your shift ends might not seem like such a big deal but when you add that extra time up, day after day, week after week, it could add up to some considerable cash.
After a marathon 20 months of negotiations, workers at Laura’s YIG in Ottawa voted overwhelmingly in favour of a new collective agreement with increases to wages and benefit contributions. Covering more than 70 workers, the contract was ratified on November 15, 2010 and runs from March 29, 2009 to November 2014.
