Greetings,

We have some more good news from the Local.  For those working under the GMPC/NMC Agreement, we are excited to announce that effective January 1, 2023, double time (DT) and hours earned have returned in the 2023/2024 agreement. 

• DT will now begin at after ten (10) hours on all regular workdays
• DT for all hours worked on Saturdays
• DT for all hours worked on Sundays (for both Long-Term and Short-Term Maintenance workers)
• DT for all hours on all Statutory Holidays
• We have eliminated the $0.75 difference for LTM in the Fort McMurray area

This announcement is well deserved and will surely help our members to live a better quality of life.

Fraternally Yours,
