LONDON, ON, Aug. 9, 2024 /CNW/ - Members of Unifor Local 27 secured wage increase in a new collective agreement ratified August 9 with the warehousing firm HCL Logistics, ending an 18-day strike.

HCL Logistics provides warehousing and logistics support to companies large and small. The 147 members of Local 27 began strike action on July 22. The new contract will expire in July 2027.
