Local 91 Cooney Members Ratify a Five Year Deal

Teamsters Local 91 Cooney Members over four votes held January 27 & 28, 2018 have overwhelmingly accepted a new five year collective agreement.  Local 91 sincerely thanks the committee Members from Cooney Bulk Sales and Cooney Transport who worked tirelessly towards the final recommended offer.  The accepted offer annually increases mileage rates, hourly rates, U.S. mileage rates amongst many other significant improvements.  As well, Members will benefit from seven annual 'weather / traffic delay' days allowing them to declare an hourly day as opposed to limiting flat rates.  This is a significant improvement in driver safety on an annual basis, supporting our over one hundred and twenty professional drivers.  

The previous agreement expired in late 2016 and the new agreement provides the Companies and the Members with stability moving forward in a competitive market laced with challenges.  Members can attend work Monday knowing their working conditions are on the rise, in turn improving their quality of life for the Members and their families.  President Brian MacDonald thanks the Members for their patience and participation throughout the process, noting Cooney drivers once again will enjoy some of the best working conditions throughout the Ontario - Quebec 401 corridor.
