New contract for Mosaic potash workers includes wage increases, paid domestic violence leave

Mosaic has reached an agreement with unionized workers represented by Unifor at its potash site in Esterhazy, Sask.

Unifor said the four-year agreement contains 11.5 per cent wage increases over the term. It also includes eight-week maternity leave top-up, increases to the employer’s contribution to pension plans, and paid domestic violence leave. Going forward the unit will have three employer-sponsored Women’s Advocate positions.

“Unifor members working at Mosaic stood united in their demands for a fair contract,” said Lana Payne, Unifor National President. “They can be very proud of what they accomplished.”

Local 892 represents 750 workers at the potash mine.
