Deal between companies and union, which includes an hourly wage and accident insurance, still requires approval from the industrial umpire, but this is what we know so far
That’s interesting. I wonder why they’re calling it “world first” then. I can think of three main possibilities:
There’s some nuance here in the specifics. Like maybe the Canadian version has minimum pay but not insurance, or vice versa? Or the way the pay rate is set is different?[1]
That “in some places” caveat you added. “World first” for it to be national, instead of done at the provincial level, maybe?
Sheer bluster. Made up. Not true.
For better, or for worse. For example, maybe in Canada the following is not true: “The deal does not include penalty rates for things such as working late at night and, Veen says, the minimum hourly rate does not apply to time spent waiting between delivery jobs.” ↩︎
