CN Tower Workers Ratify New Contract with Employer, Ending Two-Week Lockout

TORONTO, JUL 14 – Unifor Local 4271 members secured wage increases and better benefits in a three-year deal after a lockout that started before Canada Day, representing over 250 workers.

  • Workers represented by Unifor Local 4271 at the CN Tower voted Sunday to ratify a new three-year collective agreement, ending a nearly two-week lockout.
  • The lockout began the day before Canada Day after negotiations between the union and the government-owned corporation responsible for the CN Tower stalled in late June.
  • The agreement includes significant wage increases, improvements to health, dental, and vision benefits, enhanced gratuity policy, and commitments to stabilize hours and review the pension plan.
  • Workers not earning gratuities will see 4.25% annual raises, gratuity earners receive 4% in the first year and 2.5% in the following two years, with Le Café cooks getting an additional $1 per hour and utility attendants 50 cents more.
  • The CN Tower's food establishments are scheduled to reopen Tuesday, signaling the return of full service and reflecting the impact of collective bargaining on working conditions at a major tourist site.
