Bombardier workers approve 5 year contract with raises every year

About 1,800 unionized workers at Bombardier have voted to approve a new contract proposal.

Members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers have voted by more than 73 per cent to accept  management's offer.

The deal gives workers an average increase of 6.5 per cent in the first year and three-per-cent raises in the second and third years.

They will get at least 1.5 per cent for the rest of the contract.
