Workers at Sollio Agriculture build better life – UFCW 864

Workers at Sollio Agriculture build better life – UFCW 864

Truro, N.S. – July 4, 2025 – UFCW Eastern Provinces Council Local 864 members at Sollio Agriculture in Truro have ratified a new three-year agreement with improvements including  substantial wage increases and cost-of-living language.

Workers will receive a 20.25 per cent wage increase over the course of the contract, including 13.25 per cent in year one, as well as a $500 signing bonus.   

Additionally, implementing cost-of-living allowance language based on the consumer price index will allow wages to continue to increase beyond the agreement should inflation continue to skyrocket.   

Other improvements include additions to education funds, boot allowance increase, shift premiums, and additional paid holidays.
