CANADA, JUN 28 – Unifor members approved a four-year contract with a 15.75% wage increase and enhanced benefits, marking a key test of new federal anti-scab legislation, union officials said.

- The agreement covers over 2,100 employees working as truck drivers, couriers, warehouse, and clerical staff and includes wage, pension, and benefit improvements.
- The contract includes a 15.75% wage increase, enhanced pensions for hourly employees along with a new pension plan for owner-operators, expanded mental health and disability benefits, and revised policies concerning artificial intelligence and remote work.
