A good day for unionized staff at Community Living Dryden and Sioux Lookout. The Communications, Energy and Paper workers Union says its 90-members have voted 100-percent in favour of extending their contracts by 29-months. Spokesperson Stephen Boon says the relationship between the two sides has been relatively good, so the members agreed to forgo all aspects of the bargaining process and simply duplicate the previous negotiated wage increases from the last contract. Staff will see a 4.75-percent increase over the course of the deal, which is now set to expire in September 2014.
