UFCW 832’s members at the Manitoba Cardiac Centre (Reh-Fit) Inc, in Winnipeg ratified their new, four-year collective bargaining agreement.
“The fitness centre membership dropped significantly during COVID and they’re still working to bring it back to pre-COVID levels,” says Phil Kraychuk, union negotiator. “This group deserved some significant change and the result was some excellent monetary gains for all.”
Highlights of the CBA include:
- Funds for professional development
- Wage increase between 3-15% in year one, and 2.5% in years two, three and four
- Overall language cleanup.
