Congratulations to SEIU members working at Morrison at Gateway who recently unanimously approved their new contract!

• A 3% across-the-board 2018 wage increase with retro pay from March 25, 2018; a 2% across-the-board wage increase effective March 25, 2019, plus a 25-cent longevity raise for those with 5-10 years of service and a 40-cent longevity raise for those with over 10 years of service; a 2.5% raise effective March 25, 2020.
• An increase to new hire rates with a 1% increase to rates on March 25, 2019 and March 25, 2020.
• Dental and vision coverage.
• The addition of July 4 as a paid holiday.
• Vacation days will be awarded based on years of service moving forward, instead of accruals.
• Union new hire orientations.
• Addition of gender identity as a protected class under non-discrimination language.
• Healthcare advocacy days.

This was a hard-fought win and we’re proud of every member who played a role in the victory!
