Members at Covered Bridge Potato Chips build better life – UFCW 1288P

Waterville, N.B. – November 23, 2024 – UFCW Eastern Provinces Council Local 1288P members working at Covered Bridge Potato Chips have unanimously voted in favour to ratify a new collective agreement bringing in wage increases, paid sick days and improved cost-sharing for employee health benefits.  

The three-year deal contains a total salary increase of $3.30 for all employees across the agreement - with the majority paid out in year one - as well as the implementation of paid sick days, signing bonuses for all employees, as well as dual ticket wage premiums for workers with multiple red-seals. 

 Other improvements include increases to boot and clothing allowances, benefit improvements, leave improvements and more.
