Sureway Employees Unanimously Ratify New Contract

Edmonton—Local 63 members employed by Sureway Industrial Services Ltd. voted unanimously in favour of ratifying a three-year collective agreement providing them with wage increases and other improvements.

The new contract provides members with a significant wage increase in year one, effective March 2, 2025.

Other improvements include a boot allowance of up to $200 for every 1,500 hours worked to a maximum of $400 every two years. A new $3 per hour welding and stainless steel grinding premium was also negotiated as well as a $5 per hour premium when using the Sureway rig outside of the fabrication shop and yard.
