In September of 2023, the employees of Renascent Fellowship voted in favour of joining the IAM Union. Late last week, they voted to ratify their first Collective Agreement. In addition to modest wage increases, our newest members now have a nightshift premium, safety shoe allowance for kitchen staff and better benefits, with the Employer taking on a larger share of the costs.
IAM Union Representatives Scott Jackson and Sara Mitchell both complemented negotiations committee member Brock Riviere on his commitment to getting a fair first contract for his co-workers.
IAM Union members at Renascent Fellowship, located in Whitby, provide residential addictions treatment, counselling and support. They will join IAM Healthcare Local 1295 which represents other healthcare and residential addiction facilities in southern Ontario.
