Members of the Nisichawayasihk Personal Care Home – Local 367 voted to ratify a new two-year collective agreement with the employer Friday.

The new collective agreement includes a ten percent wage increase in the first year of the agreement and a three percent wage increase in the second year.

MGEU President Michelle Gawronsky says she is proud of the members for standing up for what they believe in.

Gawronsky says she is just disappointed by the Federal Government who failed to give the band of Nisichawayasihk more funding.

She says that it is disappointing to see the Federal Government step away from their promises to give more resources to reserves.

Gawronsky says they are halfway to addressing the inequity in pay for Nelson House health care support workers.

With the new agreement ratified, members will be back on the job. During the strike, members only worked the minimum requirements.
