Unifor Local 1136.43 members ratified a new collective agreement with Glazier Medical Centre in Oshawa.
“It was employers who lobbied the Ford government to remove two paid personal emergency leave days that were won under the previous Liberal government,” said Jerry Dias, National President. “I offer my congratulations to the bargaining committee who did not back down from the change in the law, but who were determined to negotiate two paid sick days as part of their collective agreement.”
Unifor Local 1136.43 represents 43 medical assistants at Glazier Medical Centre.
Members were not eligible to receive vacation pay and will now receive vacation paid on all gross earnings.
In addition to the two paid emergency sick days and vacation pay, the agreement includes improved language, benefits, wage increases in each year of the three-year agreement and new Paid Education Leave language of $1000 in each year of the agreement.
