"CP is proud to announce an- other long-term agreement with a valued union partner, this time the Canadian Pacific Police As- sociation," said Keith Creel, CP president and CEO. Highlights of the five-year deal include a wage increase, added compassionate leave, ex- panded training opportunities and an enhanced relocation ex- pense allowance, according to the company.

Correctional offi cers sign deal OTTAWA — The Union of Ca- nadian Correctional Officers (UCCO) reached an agreement in principle with the Treasury Board on Nov. 16 for 7,400 em- ployees. "The government finally recognizes the dangerous and unique work of correctional of- ficers in the Canadian public ser- vice," said Jason Godin, national president of UCCO. The deal was agreed to 42 months after the expiry of the last agreement, said the union. Laurentian Bank union to change MONTREAL — The Lauren- tian Bank in Montreal was ad- vised by the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) that a motion was received on Nov. 16 from a group of Laurentian Bank employees asking to revoke the Canadian Office and Profession- al Employees (COPE), Local 434 union accreditation, covering all of its unionized employees. The majority of these employ- ees work in Laurentian Bank branches in Quebec and some are employed in corporate of- fices in Montreal, said the com- pany. As set out in the applicable legislation, a CIRB officer has been designated to supervise the next steps of this motion, ac- cording to Laurentian Bank. Radiation therapists join Ontario association MISSISSAUGA, Ont. — The Ontario Nurses' Association (ONA) welcomed 69 radiation therapists on Nov. 20 as the group voted to join the union. "We are honoured that ra- diation therapists have trusted ONA to best represent them. It demonstrates once again that health-care professionals rec- ognize ONA as the obvious choice when it comes to choos- ing a union," said Linda Haslam- Stroud, ONA president. The employees work at the Credit Valley Hospital in Missis- sauga, Ont. The ONA represents about 65,000 registered nurses and health-care professionals, as well as 16,000 nursing student affiliates, all in the province of Ontario.
