Those working for Loblaw in Manitoba, including No Frills, ratified a new five-year collective agreement.
It’s the largest financial improvement to the health and welfare benefit plan for workers, which includes enhancing sick time to member work in the province.
The new agreement also protects the number of full-time positions and improves wages.
“Our bargaining committee achieved real gains for themselves and their coworkers at Loblaw,” said Jeff Traeger, President of UFCW Local 832. "In an increasingly challenging industry, I'm proud of the hours and hard work that this committee has put in."
UFCW Local 832 represents over 3500 workers at Loblaw stores across Manitoba.
