Unifor say workers at the Northern Youth Centre have a new two year deal.
The union represents 16-employees at the open custody facility near Muriel Lake, along with youth outreach service workers in Dryden and Kenora.
The contract calls for a 2% wage increase in the first year and 1.5% in the second.
There were also improvements in benefits and vacation pay, plus a $100 annual clothing allowance.
Local National representative for Unifor Stephen Boon says workers were pleased to secure solid wage increases and key improvements especially in a sector that’s facing an ongoing shortfall in provincial funding levels.
