Unifor's Chris MacDonald, centre, says the new agreement between Dominion workers and Loblaw has left a sour taste in members' mouths. This is not the deal that they wanted and this isn't the reason why they went on strike," MacDonald told CBC News on Saturday. In the end, the ratified deal was similar to the offer Loblaw tabled ahead of the strike, but an extra year was added, bringing the total wage increase to $1.35 an hour over four years. In total, 22 jobs will be added, with full-time workers who were impacted last year having the first chance to apply for the new roles once they are posted. As workers fill a new full-time position, another full-time position will be posted to ensure there is a net increase of 22 new full-time roles.
