Lethbridge, Alta. – December 3, 2021 – UFCW 401 members at P&H Milling recently secured a new collective agreement that increases wages, bereavement leave, life insurance, and the boot allowance, while staving off company efforts at concessions.

“The company came into negotiations seeking takeaways, but quickly took them off the table when the committee told them there would be no deal with concessions,” said UFCW 401 Union Labour Relations Officer, Bill Bennet.

Increases in the new three-year contract will be applied retroactive to January 2020. To read more about the collective bargaining victory at P&H Milling, click here.
