On March 25, members of CPC Pumps voted to ratify a new three-year collective agreement, marking a strong step forward in improving working conditions and long-term security for the membership.
The newly ratified agreement delivers meaningful gains, including enhanced pension matching, reinforcing members’ financial stability and future planning. A new wage grid has also been introduced, creating a clear structure for progression-based increases, alongside general wage increases of no less than 3% throughout the term of the agreement.
In addition to these economic improvements, several important language enhancements were negotiated. These include:
- Paid hours now counting toward the calculation of overtime
- New restrictions on the use of temporary workers
- A one-week vacation carryover provision
Together, these changes reflect the priorities and voices of CPC Pumps members, while strengthening protections and fairness in the workplace.
This agreement is the result of the dedication and hard work of the bargaining committee and union representatives. Pictured are members of the bargaining committee alongside Union stewards Anthony Page and Joey Cortez, whose commitment played a key role in achieving this outcome.
