Cooney, Teamsters sign five-year deal
BELLEVILLE, ON – Cooney Transport and Cooney Bulk Sales have signed a five year collective agreement with Teamsters Local 91 members.
The agreement was secured over four votes on January 27 and 28, and “overwhelmingly” accepted by members, the union says.
The offer increased mileage rates, hourly rates, and U.S. mileage rates, among other changes. Members also benefit from seven annual “weather/traffic delay” days, during which they can declare an hourly day rather than accepting flat rates.
“This is a significant improvement in driver safety on an annual basis, supporting our over 120 professional drivers,” the union said in a release.
The previous agreement had expired in 2016.
