An agreement has been signed in a labor dispute of about two weeks at CN Tower, with restaurant operations in Toronto Landmark on Tuesday.
Hospitality workers voted to confirm the temporary agreement with the federal Crown Corporation which owns and operates the CN Tower.
“This victory shows what happens when workers stand together and refuse to settle for less,” said Lana Payne, president of Uniphore National. “These members maintained pressure, raised their voice, and fought for the honor that they always worthy. This is the one that looks like a union power.”
Unifor Local 4271 CN Tower represents more than 250 food and beverage workers, including hosts, waiting workers, bartender, chefs, cooks, butchers and other hospitality employees.
The Sangh says that the newborn will bring “notable wages for workers” from the newborn collective agreement. Those who do not get gratuity will see an annual growth of 4.25 percent, while employees earning tips in the first year will increase by 4 percent, followed by 2.5 percent increase in each in the next two years.
Unifor Local 4271 says that the agreement also increases profit in health, dentistry and vision care.
