First contract signed for DHL workers in Quebec MONTREAL — Unifor, Local 700 members working for DHL courier service recently ratified their first labour contract since joining Unifor in April 2019. Af- ter a bargaining process that be- gan in November 2019, an agree- ment was finally reached in June. The workers in Quebec were represented by another union prior to 2019, whereas all other DHL employees in the rest of Canada were already members of Unifor, says the union. Highlights of the new agree- ment include the integration of 90 per cent of Quebec workers into the national agreement; a five-per-cent wage adjustment and increases of 2.2 per cent ret- roactive to Jan. 1; a lump sum pay- ment of up to $3,000; a reduction in the number of years required to be eligible for the fourth aand fifth week of vacation and the addition of a sixth week of vaca- tion after 20 years of service, says Unifor. North Shore museum workers join CUPE NORTH VANCOUVER, B.C. — The Canadian Union of Pub- lic Employees (CUPE), Local 389 — which represents pub- lic workers in the City of North Vancouver and the District of North Vancouver — welcomed eight new members from the North Vancouver Museum and Archives (NVMA) on July 23. "Our newest members are charting the rich legacy of the North Shore," says Cindy Mc- Queen, CUPE 389 president. The workers document the history of the development of North Vancouver and maintain an archive of historical artifacts, says the union. Deal reached for CRA employees OTTAWA — The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) reached a ten- tative agreement on July 25 that provides fair wages, no conces- sions and improved working conditions. In addition to these success- ful talks, PSAC members will also be awarded a Phoenix dam- ages settlement to compensate members for the pain and suf- fering caused by the broken pay system, says the union. The bargaining team success- fully secured wage increases and wage adjustment averaging 2.07 per cent per year, says PSAC. Workers will also receive a one- time lump sum payment of $400 for each employee in the bargain- ing unit on the date of signing of the collective agreement and a one-time payment of $500 in rec- ognition of the extended collec- tive agreement implementation deadline and an additional $50 for every subsequent 90-day de- lay, says the union. TST-CF Express workers join Teamsters VANCOUVER — The 358 truck drivers and dock workers at TST- CF Express in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Mani- toba and the Yukon voted to join the Western Canada Council of Teamsters (WCCT) over Unifor on July 21. Unifor requested the vote after TST Overland and Cana- dian Freightways were merged into one entity, TST-CF Ex- press. Canadian Freightways's 287 unionized employees were Teamsters, while TST Over- land's 72 unionized employees were represented by Unifor, says the union. The contract is up for rene- gotiation this fall, giving drivers and dock workers at TST-CF Ex- press an opportunity to address any new issues which have come up and to further improve their working conditions, says Team- sters. Workers at Canadian Freight- ways had been Teamsters for more than 67 years. Union activ- ists at the company have fought hard to protect and build-up the working conditions now enjoyed by those employed at TST-CF Express, says the union.
