Union holds information picket outside hospital, calls for employer EllisDon to return to bargaining table; skilled trades workers need higher pay, more respect says union's local president
EllisDon Facilities Services Inc. workers represented by Unifor Local 1359 - along with supporters from other unions - gathered in chilly weather to hold an information picket and called for pay increases in front of SAH’s main entrance at 750 Great Northern Road on Wednesday.
With negotiations having produced no agreement and the employer walking away, Unifor now wants EllisDon to return to the bargaining table instead of going to arbitration. “We have 15 workers. We had 17 but we lost two of our plumbers. The second plumber we lost about a year ago. We’ve not been able to recruit and retain anybody in the skilled trades because they’re so underpaid compared to other skilled trades workers."
