Last night MGEU members from the All Nations Coordinated Response Network (ANCR) ratified the first Local 365 contract.

The union represents roughly 350 ANCR members who will see a number of significant improvements in the new four-year deal. It includes increases to vision care, the drug plan and the health spending account as well as increases to shift premiums, weekend premiums, mileage rates and cell phone reimbursement.

ANCR members will also receive an additional four days of leave per year for the purposes of attending cultural, ceremonial and religious celebrations and will now be allowed to use sick leave to attend medical appointments.

The bargaining committee will be contacting the employer to get the agreement finalized and signed before it’s printed and distributed to members. In the meantime, ANCR members are encouraged to update their contact information here to ensure they receive a copy of the new contract once available.
