Tuesday, June 17, 2025 Rose City Electric Employees Secure Significant Wage Increases with New Contract Local 53 Ratifications Construction Windsor, ON—Employees of Rose City Electric Limited, an electrical contractor based in Windsor, Ontario, unanimously ratified a three-year collective agreement providing them with significant wage increases. The 35 electricians and electrician apprentices are represented by Construction Workers Union, CLAC Local 53. The union was certified to represent the company’s employees in 2019. The new contract provides employees with a 17 percent wage increase over the term, which helps offset the rising cost of living over the past few years. In addition, employees’ vision-care coverage increases to $500. “Bargaining in the Windsor region is a difficult prospect at the moment as the financial headwinds of international trade matters impact local economies,” says Alex Kuiper, CLAC representative. “Despite the difficulties surrounding the process, both parties were able to push through and come up with a solution that provided our members with a fair return for the work they do while allowing their employer to maintain their competitive edge and keep everyone working.” You might be interested in CLAC Receives Union Training and Innovation Grant From Federal Government 8 Jul 2025 Percon Construction Employees Unanimously Ratify New Agreement 3 Jul 2025 Tabor Manor Employees Overwhelmingly Ratify New Two-Year Contract 3 Jul 2025 Everyday Champion! 2 Jul 2025
