MONTRAL, Oct. 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rogers Sugar Inc. (the “Corporation”) (TSX: RSI) announced today that the main bargaining unit representing the majority of employees at its Montreal refinery have ratified a five-year agreement with Lantic Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation.
The Montreal refinery employs approximately 200 unionized workers. The collective bargaining process between Lantic and its four Montreal unions began last winter in light of the expiry of a five-year agreement at the end of May.
“We are pleased that unionized workers of the main bargaining unit at our Montreal refinery voted in favour of the agreement and look forward to a continued collaboration with them over the long-term. With this agreement behind us, we can focus on fulfilling our essential role in the Canadian food supply chain by offering a wide range of sugars, sweeteners and maple syrup products,” said Mike Walton, President and CEO of Rogers Sugar Inc.
