Laval, June 8, 2015 — The workers of GardaWorld Cash Services affiliated with the Teamsters Union ratified a new collective agreement on June 4th. The ballots counted today indicate that 93,5% of the members were in favour of the employer’s proposal.

« Both parties worked diligently to improve the workers’ conditions, said Lance Wallace, Assistant Director of the Armoured Car Division of Teamsters Canada. The bargaining committee did a hell of a job and they deserve to be congratulated! »
The new collective agreement will end in 2018.
