North Bay, ON – Today the members at Kohltech Windows in North Bay Ontario ratified a 3-year deal which included non-monetary improvements and more notably, salary increases of 19.5% over the three years.
The salary boosts are as follows: $2.32 in year one, $.60 in year two, and $.70 in year three. Truck drivers received the same increases with an additional $1.35.
“The salary increase was the memberships top priority and the bargaining committee delivered big time,” said Neil Giroux, Grand Lodge Representative for IAM Canada. “I want to especially recognise the two negotiators that were at the table with me – brother Cam Good and brother Jason MacEwen, as they did an exceptional job for their co-workers.”
