\nTropicana Board awarded a $3000 bonus to a manager, even while continuing to rebuff workers\u2019 ask for a modest wage increase. Workers unionized with SEIU Local 2 over a year ago in response to years of wage freezes and other unfair treatment by management.

TORONTO, Nov. 13, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tropicana workers have learned that the Tropicana board voted to grant a $3000 to a manager in 2019, around the time the frontline workers unionized and started asking for an end to years of wage freezes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Several workers were told either directly or overheard that board President Carol Comissiong authorized a $3000 bonus for the daycare supervisor. Now that workers are striking together, this information is being brought to light with the broader group.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Maxine Edwards is a Job Developer with Tropicana and was unaware of the manager bonus until the strike started. She says: \u201cI hadn\u2019t heard about the manager bonus until we all went on strike and this information came out. But this is really disappointing to hear. I was working with no wage increase for four years. I was always told there was no money for wage increases for staff.\u201d<\/p>\n

Management has continued to insist on three more years of wage freezes, which has pushed the workers to go on strike. Workers have been picketing Tropicana premises since November 9th.<\/p>\n

Tropicana is a publicly-funded organization financed by all three levels of government. Workers unionized and are now on strike after many had been forced to accept up to a decade of wage freezes. They are seeking a cost-of-living wage increase and transparent management practices as a part of their first collective agreement. Workers have set up\u00a0TropicanaStrikes.ca<\/a>\u00a0to keep the public informed on developments.\u00a0<\/p>\n

SEIU Local 2 represents workers in Nova Scotia, Ontario, Alberta, New Brunswick and British Columbia.<\/p>\n
