Northern Lakes College workers get 12% raise
Unfortunately, they had experienced a real wage cut of nearly 19% over their last two collective agreements, so it falls short of helping them keep up with inflation.
The dozen or so workers filed for union certification less than a month ago and are employed with WD Processing.
The new collective agreement also includes market adjustments and improvements to shift differential and health benefits.
The certificates include baristas, concrete quality control technicians, and workers employed in long-term care, education support, and rail maintenance.
This is the first improvement since 2020.
It includes raises ranging from 6.23% to 11.73% for starting wages.

Alberta steelmaker accused of unionbusting
Local 5220 of the United Steelworkers is accusing AltaSteel of avoiding meeting with the workers’ bargaining committee to negotiate a new collective agreement.
They had originally asked for a 26% raise, given that they had seen a drop in real wages of 22% during their last two collective agreements.
Real wages for these workers are nearly 20% lower than they were back in 2017.
