First Contract for Wilhelm Concrete Employees

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

The local was certified as the union for the employees by the Ontario Labour Relations Board in July 2021.

The three-year settlement, which took effect February 6, 2022, establishes a full spectrum of union contract benefits for the employees including annual wage increases, improved healthcare benefits, and first contributions to a true pension plan. Other notable aspects include vacation pay increases, paid work time for health and safety training courses, and an improved annual workwear and safety footwear allowance.

“We’re pleased to deliver this strong settlement for our newest members,” says Roger Grootenboer, CLAC representative. “The terms provide exactly the security and compensation that these members were looking for—excellent wages, strong healthcare benefits, and a pension plan they can trust.”
