Mississauga, ON – Members at IAM Local Lodge 1922 ratified a new collective agreement last night.
“The bargaining committee worked tirelessly for our IAM members. While negotiating via unfamiliar platforms (Zoom), their efforts brought increases to wages for each year of the agreement, improvements to life insurance, accidental death and disability (AD&D) and weekly indemnity top-ups. They did this while maintaining health benefits and their pension, which the committee knew was a priority for our members,” said Kim Valliere, Directing Business Representative.
A special thanks go out to the Negotiations Committee during this challenging round of negotiations. Jerry Jarosz, Mike Edwards, and Richard Paulo who played a crucial role in negotiating the agreement.
