These workers unionized last year, so they are trying to negotiate their first collective agreement.

When you factor in wage increases over the last two contracts plus inflation during that time and leading up to this past summer, wages for these workers are 21% behind inflation.

These workers have not received a wage increase in 2.5 years.

These workers received a cut to real wages of nearly 10% over their last collective agreement, and inflation has hit nearly 10% since their last agreement expired.

Wages for these workers over the last decade have fallen 16 percentage points behind inflation and some workers are making only $16 an hour.

They ended up with a loss in real wages of over 21% at the end of their last contract, which expired over 2 years ago.

It still is less than what similar workers got employed by AHS.

Unfortunately, it is not enough to make up for below-inflation increases in the previous contract.

This is more than double what they got in their last collective agreement.
