Wages more than double initial offering: Unifor
Workers at the Westin Prince hotel in Toronto are the latest Local 7575 unit to negotiate significant improvements on Nov. 1.
Over the term of the three-year contract, wages will increase 10.6% cumulatively, which is more than double the company’s opening offer. An important cornerstone of the new collective agreement is the guarantee that there will be no conversion of the hotel to condominiums, according to Unifor.
Unifor was successful at enshrining a women’s advocate position in the collective agreement, as well as securing a mechanism for protecting workers from harassment by guests and introducing panic buttons for room attendants, said the union.
