Unifor says No Frills workers at 17 stores in Ontario have ratified their new collective agreement.
The agreement, which covers almost 1,300 workers, will see wages rise between $3.20 and $4.50 an hour over the duration of the agreement.
The agreement also includes a new benefits program for part-time workers, and creates 30 new full-time positions to be hired within a year.
