There is no end in sight in a strike involving staff at a local diagnostic imaging clinic.
Members of Unifor Local 2458 have overwhelmingly rejected Clear Medical Imaging’s latest contract offer, with 96% voting against it in a forced vote held earlier this week.
“This vote sends a strong message that our members will not be divided or intimidated,” said Unifor National President Lana Payne. “The employer’s decision to pit workers against each other instead of addressing their legitimate concerns has only reinforced their solidarity.”
The strike began October 25th with workers demanding solutions to wage disparities and the inequitable treatment of administrative and clinical staff.
The union will now send its final offer to the Employer to continue bargaining in an attempt to get staff back to work and bring them their first Collective Agreement.
Unifor Local 2458 represents 120 members at Clear Medical Imaging, who work as x-ray, ultrasound and nuclear medicine technologists, clerical and administrative staff across 11 locations within Windsor, Chatham, Tecumseh, LaSalle, and Essex.
