Omni Homes Ratify
July 31, 2024
Omni Homes ratify language improvements and wage increase with new collective agreement.
The almost 270 HOPE Sector workers at five Omni Homes: Kentwood Park, Maplewood, Rosebridge Manor, Westlake Terrace, and Almonte Country Haven ratified a two-year agreement on July 18, 2024.
Members will receive general wage increases of 3.5% in each year equalling rate increases of up to $4.50 in each grid. A separate classification will be created for Activity Aide that will receive an extra 20 cents over the general wage increase.
There will be an RPN wage adjustment of $3 per hour. The RN wage grid will increase while the progression for this classification will be reduced seeing the RNs reach top rate sooner.
Benefit improvements include changes to language for member payments with regard to CCWIPP, and 2 cents will be added to dental coverage per hour.
The weekend premium will increase from 45 cents to 50 cents per hour and the uniform allowance to $130 per year for full-time and $65 per year for part time.
Union negotiating committee: Stacy Abbass, Michelle Bannister, Richard Barr, Sue Courtney, Jackie Fleming, Christine Hube, Nikki Lafee, Christine McCoy, Connie Murphy, Karen Vaughan and Jessica Velleau. Union representative: Dean McLaren.
