Cintas Route Sales Reps Ratify
August 5, 2025
Cintas Route sales reps in Sault Ste Marie achieve wage increases and language to protect their sales commission with new collective agreement.
The Route Sales Representatives at Cintas in Sault Ste. Marie ratified a three-year agreement on June 26, 2025.
Wages for the members will increase 3% in each year of the term, and they will also receive a $500 signing bonus. A new premium was negotiated for the remote gold mine sites of $1.00 per hour.
A significant achievement for the membership was negotiated and sales commission rates have been added to the contract language. There is no longer a risk of reduction or removal as these commissions are now protected in the collective agreement.
The employer contribution to pension plan will increase by 10 cents per hour.
Members will receive ten hours in stat holiday pay when a holiday falls on a day when they would have regularly been working a 10-hour shift.
Union negotiating committee: Bryce Grimard. Union representative: Jim Hames.
