Cambridge, ONT. — The Christian Labour Association of Canada (CLAC) Local 53 has announced it has secured a new three-year collective agreement for the workers of Borea Construction ULC based in Toronto.
The new terms are effective immediately. The deal was announced April 29.
Over the life of the contract, entry workers in the solar and battery sector will see an increase of 17 per cent in their base hourly wage rate, stated a release. Along with annual wage improvements, employees receive increased employer contributions to their pension.
A national standard for health care benefits coverage has also been adopted, ensuring employees maintain consistent coverage when working in different provinces.
“Local 53 is pleased to deliver this strong settlement,” stated Marco Mueller, CLAC representative, in a statement. “For the past three years, Borea has had no construction projects in Ontario. We are excited for them to return, continuing to build projects in the renewable energy sector.
“We are confident this agreement will draw the workforce Borea needs and reward the members who stay.”
