Strike at Mobile Climate Control

Sometimes a strike happens to send an important message.

When the next round of bargaining comes up for these members, their employers know that the members of UFCW Locals 175 & 633 are prepared to go on strike if necessary and that they have the full support of the Union and its 70,000 members standing strong beside them.

Members at Mobile Climate Control ratify recommended deal, ending 12-day strike

After nearly 12 days on the picket lines, the 450 members at Mobile Climate Control ratified a recommended settlement on November 1, 2024. The agreement brings some wage increases previously set for the fourth year of the deal into the third year. Wages for the members will increase over the four-year deal by an average total of more than 21%, plus enhanced benefits.

Mobile Climate Control members work at three locations including two in Vaughan and one in Mississauga, and they manufacture Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems for commercial and heavy-duty vehicles and machinery.

Members originally voted down a company final offer on October 19 and had been holding strong on the picket lines since October 21.

“It always takes courage to make the difficult decision to go on strike,’ said President Tosato. “These members showed great strength and commitment on the line, and we are pleased that their committee was able to bring them a recommended settlement and another opportunity to vote on a deal."
