Strikes averted as UFCW wins new union contract with JBS
Published: 11/06/2014
The agreement provides for wage increases of 12.8% over the term of the contract with retroactive payments from the expiry of the previous contract.
The agreement establishes a healthcare clinic in Worthington with no cost for basic primary health care and low cost prescriptions and immunizations.
Several other UFCW locals are currently engaged in bargaining with JBS and this breakthrough is a significant win for the union.
