March 11, 2024
Jonsson’s YIG ratifies wage increases in each year of new collective agreement.
Members in Kemptville at Jonsson’s YIG ratified a five-year agreement on February 13, 2024.
Wage increases for full-time end rates will be: Date of Ratification – $1.50, Effective 1st Full pay week August 4, 2024 – $0.50, Effective 1st Full pay week August, 3, 2025 – $0.75, Effective 1st Full pay week August 2, 2026 – $0.70, Effective 1st Full pay week August 3, 2027 – $0.70 and Effective 1st Full pay week February 6, 2028 – $0.35.
The full-time clerk scale will be reduced from 60 months to 36 months which will allow full-time clerks to achieve the end rate sooner. All active full-time members on the payroll at Date of Ratification will receive a signing bonus of $1000.00.
Part-time workers will receive increases to the end rates as follows: Date of Ratification – $1.00, 1st full pay following August 4, 2024 – $.50, 1st full pay following August 3, 2025 – $.50, 1st full pay following August 3, 2026 – $.45, 1st full pay following August 1, 2027 – $.40, and 1st full pay following February 6, 2028 – $.35.
Part-time at the end rate effective July 15, 2024 – if minimum wage increases above the scheduled increase for that particular year, members will receive the difference between the amount that minimum wage increases and their scheduled increase. For example: If the scheduled increase is $.40 in 2024 and minimum wage increases $.50, the employees at end rate would get the $.10 difference.
Part-time at end rate and active at Date of Ratification will receive a signing bonus of $500.00. Part-time who are in progression at Date of Ratification will receive a signing bonus of $100.00.
The boot allowance will increase for all members: full-time $110 each year and every two years for part-time.
