Tentative Agreement Reached with Unionized Recreation Workers

Alexandria, September 3, 2024 – The Township of North Glengarry (Township) has reached a tentative agreement with SEIU Local 2 of the Brewery General and Professional Workers’ Union (SEIU) which represents Recreation staff at the Township.

The Township and SEIU successfully completed negotiations this morning by agreeing to the terms of a three-year collective agreement. The last collective agreement with SEIU expired on March 31, 2024 and negotiations have been ongoing since late 2023. The terms of the agreement are pending ratification and acceptance by both sides.

Unionized recreation staff will resume their duties tomorrow, September 4, 2024. The ice making process will be started in both the Glengarry Sports Palace and the Maxville & District Sports Complex with a goal of offering ice rentals as of September 16, 2024.  Administrative staff will be contacting users to reconfirm the timing of their bookings in the Township’s facilities.

The Township of North Glengarry Administrative Council and Staff wish to thank the community for their patience during the strike.  “We look forward to having the recreation staff back to work in our facilities”, says Mayor Jamie MacDonald.
