The OMA strongly supported amendments to the Criminal Code that came into effect in January and doubled to 10 years the maximum prison sentence for those who harass or intimate health-care workers and patients. Many of the acts and comments were also racist, sexist and/or antisemitic. Unfortunately, this behaviour became all too common during the pandemic against people working on the front lines of the pandemic trying to keep their communities safe. Hate crimes and the physical, verbal and online harassment of health-care workers are unacceptable and have no place in Canadian society. We also want to thank the owner of O.M.A, Barry O'Young, for finally recognizing the value of the work we perform."įounded in 1909, Teamsters Local 174 represents 7,200 working men and women in the Seattle area.Ontario Medical Association Logo (CNW Group/Ontario Medical Association)

And of course, we are excited to finally be full members of Teamsters Local 174. "It's been a hard fight, but we are looking forward to putting the past behind us. "This has been a battle," said Ken Knipp. The employees at O.M.A are happy to finally have a Teamster contract protecting them. We encourage all of our signatory employers to use O.M.A for their WMBE requirement." "Local 174 is once again leading the way into a new realm of possibility – the possibility of raising the standards in this part of the construction industry that has consistently paid its workers less than the competition. "This new contract sets a high standard within the traditionally non-union DBE and WMBE section of the construction industry, and we are proud of that," said Teamsters Local 174 Secretary-Treasurer Rick Hicks. It also contains language which will protect them and give them access to a full grievance procedure – which they did not have prior to being Union members. The agreement gives the workers strong wage increases, as well as excellent hourly pension contributions and Teamster health and welfare benefits. "Negotiating a first contract for a newly-organized group can be a challenge, but now that it is done, we look forward to building a strong future for these workers." "This two-year agreement is a great starting point, and we are glad to see this process reach a resolution that benefits everyone," said Teamsters Local 174 Director of Negotiations Patty Warren. The guys really feel like they have a future now." "We are thankful to Meaza for seeing this process through to such a positive outcome. Everyone is smiling," said O.M.A employee and Bargaining Committee member Ken Knipp. However, today the group can relax and rejoice in the knowledge that their work is finally protected by a contract – and not just any contract, but a strong one that gives them a good foothold for increasing their position in the construction industry in the future. 20, 2016, and a second unanimous strike authorization vote on July 16, 2017.
