FORT McMURRAY -- About half of unionized workers at Suncor Energy Inc. near Fort McMurray have voted in favour of a new three-year contract.
Members of the Communications Energy and Paperworkers Union (CEP) Local 707 approved an agreement including a wage increase of 7% in the first year and 6% in each of the following two years, as well as a $4,000 lump sum payment.
Suncor's current agreement with the CEP expired May 1. The union represents more than 2,100 of the 4,000 employees who work at Suncor near Fort McMurray.
