Viterra offer ratified by the GSU

Viterra Canada today announced that its revised offer to the Grain and General Services Union (GSU) Locals 1 and 2, representing 436 employees across Saskatchewan and the Regina office has been ratified. The offer was approved through a membership vote, with the company being notified of the results earlier today.

This four-year agreement recognizes employee's individual contributions in the company's pay for performance compensation structure, which includes continued eligibility for an annual bonus payment under the company's Short-Term Incentive Plan.

"We're very pleased to have reached a long-term agreement with our employees, one that we believe is fair and reasonable that takes into account their needs, while balancing the needs of our business through long-term labour stability," said Jordan Jakubowski, VP of Human Resources for Viterra Canada. "We have a long history of working fairly and respectfully with our employees, and through this agreement we can continue to serve our customers with superior service across our Saskatchewan business."

Video: CHP Talks: Paul Bootsma—Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario #farmers #agriculture

My guest this week is Mr. Paul Bootsma, Policy Coordinator for the Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario (CFFO). We discuss his policy work at the CFFO and how the organization advocates for farmers with both the federal and provincial governments. We also discuss the current issue of waste at some small abbatoirs (slaughter facilities) in Ontario where there seems to be a pattern of excessive condemnation of animal carcasses by provincial inspectors, raising cost for both farmers and abbatoir owners.
