Union members have voted in favour of a deal their negotiating team reached with the owners of Windsor Salt, ending a strike that began in February.
It’s a five-year contract with Stone Canyon Industries, owners of Windsor Salt and Morton Salt.
"Determination on the picket line and rock-solid support from local unions and the community at large helped us achieve a contract our members could overwhelmingly support," said Lana Payne, Unifor's national president.
The deal includes wage increases of up to $4.60 per hour and a $3,000 ratification bonus, shift premium increases, and a variety of benefits enhancements.
"We received outstanding support from Windsor residents and union members in our community," Payne added. "From autoworkers to teachers, it really felt like people in Windsor knew what was at stake and they showed up to defend workplace rights and keep picket line morale high."
