NOTES:
Information is based on collective agreements covering 200 or more employees, a sample that represents 76% of unionized employees in Ontario. Wage data in this report are derived exclusively from information reported to the Collective Bargaining Information Services. All percentage wage data are calculated on the base rate, weighted by the number of employees, and include cost-of-living adjustments (COLA) where applicable, calculated at projected rates of inflation. The increases do not necessarily reflect the average increase for each member of the bargaining unit.

* Figures are 2007 year-to-date
