Last week, Local Union 879’s negotiating committee, along with Business Representative Jim Killey, held a ratification meeting for the 370 school bus drivers and monitors at Voyago London.
Members voted 65% in favour of their first collective agreement.
The three-year deal includes a 9% wage increase, seniority-based route selection, strong contract language to protect members, hands-on union representation, and provisions addressing the safety concerns raised during bargaining.
The negotiating committee worked tirelessly to shape an agreement the members can be proud of.
Pictured are committee members Brenda Kukhta (Chief Steward), Meegan St. Denis, and Amanda Carroll (Alternate Stewards).
Congratulations to the team on their outstanding job.
