The settlement was negotiated by their union, Construction Workers Union, CLAC Local 53, which was certified to represent the employees by the Ontario Labour Relations Board in September 2020. The three-year agreement takes effect November 1, 2020, and establishes a full spectrum of union contract benefits for the employees including annual wage increases, their first healthcare benefits plan, and their first pension plan. Other improvements include vacation pay increases, paid work time for health and safety training courses, and an annual work wear and safety footwear allowance. “The electricians in this new business looked to CLAC to provide the stability and labour relations guidance they saw in other CLAC-represented workplaces in the London area,” says Roger Grootenboer, CLAC representative. “The best kind of advertising is by word of mouth. CLAC members in London provided that positive message. We are pleased to accept this new group into the growing community of CLAC-represented workplaces.” You might be interested in Skill and Care on the Milk Route 17 Sep 2026 Building Skills, Growing Careers 15 Sep 2026 CLAC's Statement on Canada's Energy Future 14 Sep 2026 Seeing Clearly 13 Sep 2026
