Daycare Settle
March 20, 2008
UNIONIZED DAYCARE WORKERS AT QUEEN'S UNIVERSITY HAVE RATIFIED A NEW CONTRACT. THE 3-YEAR AGREEMENT COVERS 26 MEMBERS OF CUPE. THEY'LL GET A 6-PERCENT WAGE INCREASE OVER THE TERM OF THE CONTRACT, PLUS A 275-DOLLAR SIGNING BONUS, AND PAY EQUITY ADJUSTMENTS. THE UNION WAS IN A POSITION TO STRIKE THIS WEEK, WHEN 11TH HOUR MEDIATION PRODUCED A DEAL.
