First Contract for Dielco Electric Employees

London, ON—A first collective agreement has been secured for the employees of London-based Dielco Electric Ltd. The settlement was negotiated by their union, Construction Workers Union, CLAC Local 53.

Terms of the three-year settlement take effect April 1, 2021. CLAC Local 53 was certified as the union for the employees by the Ontario Labour Relations Board in December.
