The challenges were there, but we got a fair collective agreement – Local Lodge 54 members at Novelis ratify new deal
“As lead speaker at this bargaining session, I would like to thank the WWW Centre for their hands-on Negotiatings Prep training course,” said Ted McGrath, President of Local Lodge 54. “The Committee Members: Mike Richards, Grant Strupp and Chase Wyate gained a great deal of knowledge that they put into practice at the table.”
We were able to achieve an impressive 3-year agreement that included wage increases of 8% 3% and 3% , along with substantial increases to other benefits, including shift premiums and trade adjustments.
IAM Local 54 members manufacture flat rolled aluminum products for automotive, transportation and industrial applications as well as beverage can sheet for the canning industry. Novelis, formerly Alcan, is the world’s largest flat rolled aluminum sheet producer and the world’s largest recycler of aluminum.
