- Wage levelled members will receive a 2.5% ratification payment for all hours worked including paid vacation and statutory holidays from January 1, 2019, to May 14, 2020
- Shift differentials of:
· $0.75 (75 cents) per hour for evening shifts
· $1.00 (one dollar) per hour for night shifts
· $0.75 (75 cents) per hour for weekend shifts - Vision care reimbursement increases to $250 every 24-months
- Eye exam reimbursement increases to $50 annually
- Dental plan reimbursement for basic and major services increases to $2,000 annually
The previously agreed-to items except as amended above have also been retained.
Your bargaining committee is recommending approval of the tentative settlement.
Full details as well as notice of a membership meeting to present the tentative settlement and answer any questions will be released next week. The ratification vote will be scheduled after the membership meeting. Voting information will be sent out at that time.
