Montreal, September 14, 2022 – A new six-year collective agreement was signed on September 9, 2022 for Olymel Anjou workers. These workers are represented by Local Union 931 of the Teamsters Union of Quebec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Significant gains were made by the bargaining committee made up of Michel Aubin of Local 931, along with Willington Ulysse, Natacha Ntetu, Richard McGraw and Jean-G\u00e9rard Florestal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This contract will have a major impact on all workers in this industry, but first and foremost on the families of the 135 members we represent in this company,” said Pierre-Andr\u00e9 Blanchard, President of Local Union 931. “It’s a great story that deserves to be told.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Workers’ salaries were increased for the first year by a minimum of $3\/hour, and for the remainder of the contract, the increase will total 18%. A pension plan was added, as well as statutory holidays and a floating day. In short, this is a great victory for the people of Olymel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It is important to say that it is through the solidarity of the membership and the good work of the bargaining committee that we can improve working conditions for all workers.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Teamsters Union represents 125,000 members in Canada. They are affiliated with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, which has 1.4 million members in North America.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n -30-<\/p>\n\n\n\n For more information :<\/strong><\/strong> A new six-year collective agreement was signed on September 9, 2022 for Olymel Anjou workers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1063,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[82],"class_list":["post-1065","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-olymel-anjou-2"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/teamsters931.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1065"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/teamsters931.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/teamsters931.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/teamsters931.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/teamsters931.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1065"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/teamsters931.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1065\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1068,"href":"https:\/\/teamsters931.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1065\/revisions\/1068"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/teamsters931.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1063"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/teamsters931.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1065"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/teamsters931.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1065"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/teamsters931.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1065"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
