Teamsters Ratify 5-Year Collective Agreement with UPS Canada - GlobeNewswire

A new 5-year collective agreement was ratified by a large majority of frontline workers at UPS Canada today. This comes after five months of intense negotiations between the company and the Teamsters who represent over 9,300 workers at UPS.

“Our union has been able to secure financial and other improvements in the working conditions of these hard-working Canadians on the frontlines of this pandemic. This recognizes the critical role they have been playing in the supply chain since the outbreak of this crisis,” said the national president of Teamsters Canada, François Laporte.

The new contract will improve wage progression for all categories of workers, meaning that some members will receive immediate raises of as much as $2 to $3 per hour. Workers already being paid the top rate will receive a $4.10 raise over the course of the five-year agreement. Full-time employees with seniority (at least 90 days on the job) will earn double time on the weekend, provided they work at least five hours.

you''re right. they are really not raises. just COL increases due to inflation. But most people other than govt employees rarely get these.

every little bit helps. the real key is living below your means. I always put the "raises" until maxing out 401k and paying off house 13 years early. did that with the OT. We usually just lived on base pay.
