Unifor members employed by Expertech, a subsidiary of Bell Canada Enterprises Inc., have ratified new collective agreements. The agreements, which cover approximately 730 members working in clerical and technical roles, were approved after several weeks of voting in Quebec and Ontario.
“In a difficult round of negotiations and in very challenging times, our bargaining committee has shown incredible commitment and perseverance,” said Unifor National President Lana Payne.
The new four-year agreements are retroactive to December 1, 2023, and will remain in effect until November 30, 2027.
“We are proud of the determination of our Expertech members who have stood strong throughout this entire bargaining process,” stated Unifor Quebec Director Daniel Cloutier.
Unifor, the largest private sector union in Quebec and Canada, represents more than 320,000 members across various sectors. The union advocates for workers’ rights, equality, and social justice both domestically and internationally, aiming to foster progressive change.
In Quebec, Unifor represents nearly 55,000 members and is affiliated with the Fédération des travailleurs et travailleuses du Québec (FTQ).
