The agreement includes a wage increase of 1.5 per cent for the first year (retroactive to March) and increases of two, two and 2.5 per cent consecutively in the last three years.

MGEU president Michelle Gawronsky said she’s pleased they were able to fight off concessions at the bargaining table and receive a reasonable wage increase.
