Viterra

On Jan. 19, 2024, ballots cast by GSU Local 1 (Operations & Maintenance) and 2 (Viterra Head Office) members on the Company’s Jan. 2, 2024 final offer were counted by their elected officers. It was determined that Local 1 and Local 2 members independently voted to accept the offer.

Following signatures by union and company officials on the appropriate documentation in the upcoming weeks, this round of bargaining will be concluded.

It is important to note that even with the gains made during this round of negotiations, this offer just crossed the line of acceptable for many members.

Some key gains were made in bargaining, such as:

  • January 1, 2023 – 4.5% guaranteed wage increase for all eligible members [When retroactive pay details are finalized we will share that information with Local 1 and 2 members.]
  • January 1, 2024 – company payroll will increase 3.75% – with 2.5% guaranteed to members who rate solid or better
  • January 1, 2025 – company payroll will increase 2.5% – with 1.25% guaranteed to members who rate solid or better
