LONDON,
ON, Aug. 9, 2024 /CNW/ - Members of Unifor
Local 27 secured wage increase in a new collective agreement
ratified August 9 with the
warehousing firm HCL Logistics, ending an 18-day strike.
"Local 27's fight for fairness has resulted in a contract that
ensures wages and working conditions keep up with Ontario's rising costs of living," said Unifor
National President Lana Payne.
The three-year contract increases wages by more than 17% by
2027. The agreement also improves health and safety procedures and
augments the boot allowance.
HCL Logistics provides warehousing and logistics support to
companies large and small. The 147 members of Local 27 began strike
action on July 22. The new contract
will expire in July 2027.
