Special constables and energy workers at University ratify agreements

There is once again labour peace at the University of Windsor.

In a ratification vote held on Monday, special constables at the University of Windsor voted unanimously to accept a new two-year collective agreement.

The 26 special constables approved the agreement by a margin of 100 per cent.

They are represented by Unifor Local 444, which announced the news on its Facebook page.

Employees at the university's Energy Conversion Centre also ratified a two-year collective agreement, but by a smaller margin.

Those workers, represented by Unifor Local 2458, voted 87 per cent in favour of the contract.

There are 16 unionized workers at the plant.

The two union locals reached tentative deals with the University of Windsor last Thursday.
