After a lengthy set of negotiations and with the participation of a federal conciliator, Unifor Local 2002 is pleased to announce that it has reached a three-year tentative agreement with A.S.P. Security Services INC. The agreement was reached last night in Toronto and is subject to ratification by the Unifor members of ASP.
“This agreement achieves the objectives set out by Unifor Local 2002, as well as the mandate given by the members to their Bargaining Committee. We believe this is a fair and equitable agreement for our members. I would like to thank the Bargaining Committee who worked collectively over the past nine months preparing for and working through the added challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic” said Euila Leonard, President of Unifor Local 2002.
