Labour peace at George Jeffreys

The 20 or so professional therapists at the George Jeffery Children's Centre now have a new contract. The two year deal gives them a total wage increase of 4 per cent along with improved benefits. Suzanne Pulice, of the Canadian Auto Workers union says it's a good deal, but still falls short, adding other therapists at similar centre's in Northwestern Ontario make slightly more. The highest paid therapist at the Centre will get over 75 thousand dollars a year at the end of the contract.
