Unionized workers at Clear Medical imaging have secured their first-ever collective agreement following an arbitrator's decision last week and a lengthy strike last fall.

In the decision released Thursday, arbitrator Jesse Kugler granted a wage increase of four per cent effective May 29 of this year, followed by three percent in 2026 and 2.5 per cent in 2027.

The agreement also includes clauses on sick and vacation time, shift hours, breaks, and benefits.

"As this is a first collective agreement, the terms of this award also appropriately reflect the principle of gradualism," the decision reads. "Finally, I have given due regard to the labour relations context in which this dispute arose, including the parties' history of collective bargaining and the lengthy strike that ensued."
