It's been a long time coming, but Oxford County's Mental Health workers have a new deal, and a new dental plan. The workers ratified a new 3-year agreement with 99% support. They had been working without a contract for 18-months, and so the final year of this deal will take effect in April. That's when the workers will get their dental plan, and more vacation entitlement. But OPSEU Negotiator Carol Warner says they did agree to a 2-year wage freeze. "Consistent with the government's mandate to attempt to hold wages for their budget deficit, we were put into the position of having to accept zeroes for the first 2-years. We will see a wage increase of 2% come April 1st of 2013." Warner says the deal still leaves Oxford County's CMHA workers behind some of their counterparts in other districts in southern Ontario. In a release sent to Heart FM this morning from the CMHA, it says "We'll be smiling with whiter teeth moving forward."
