The union says the deal includes a 3.25% wage increase in the first year, 3% in the second year and 2.25% in the third year.
The deal also includes improvements to health benefits and the union says some contract workers will become full-time employees.
Unifor national president Lana Payne says the deal protects members from precarious work and helps them deal with the affordability crisis.
