New agreement for Local 9 – Hi-Pro (Trouw Nutrition)

Members of GSU Local 9 voted and ratified a new collective agreement on January 7.

Notable improvements to the collective agreement included the addition of a complete severance package paying two weeks of severance per year of service (capped at 52 weeks), and wage increases that will help members keep up with the rising cost of living in BC. 

Congratulations to GSU’s bargaining committee of GSU staff representative Steve Torgerson, Kelly Sarezky and Kevin Clarke and thank you for their hard work in concluding a new agreement.
