Jadee Meat Products ratifies
January 9, 2025
Jadee Meat Products ratifies yearly wage increases and improves benefit plan for members with new collective agreement.
Members in Beamsville working at Jadee Meat Products ratified a five-year agreement on December 19, 2024. Wages will improve in each year of the term as follows: Year 1 – $0.75, Year 2 – $0.50, Year 3 – $0.50, Year 4 – $0.50, and Year 5 – $0.50. Payments will be retroactive from October 5th 2024 to date of ratification. Workers will also receive a $500 signing bonus.
The benefit plan will move to a trust benefit plan which will mean cost savings for members. With this change, members who currently are on a family plan will be saving a substantial amount on their premiums. Members on a single plan as of Oct 5,2024 will be given a premium adjustment in years 2 – 5 to make up the difference of the premium savings on the family plan.
Language improvements include pay equity language and the option for employer supplied boots.
