Wage increases up to eight per cent during agreement: Unifor
Striking Unifor, Local 3000 members at the Sheraton Vancouver Guildford Hotel in Surrey, B.C., voted 92 per cent in favour of a new three-year collective agreement on May 28, ending a four-week strike.
The new contract includes reduced workloads for room attendants, a $0.40 per hour increase to maintain current benefit levels and wage increases of up to eight per cent during the term of the agreement, said the union.
“Going on strike is always the last resort,” said Jean Van Vliet, Unifor, Local 3000 president. “I'm thrilled that our members stayed strong and we had a great committee that bargained a deal that improves working conditions.”
