The Construction Union Wage Rate Index (including selected pay supplements) for Canada was unchanged in June compared with the previous month. The composite index increased 1.7% in the 12 months to June.
Note to readers
Union wage rates are published for 16 trades in 22 metropolitan areas for both the basic rates and rates including selected pay supplements. The indexes (2007=100) are calculated for the same metropolitan areas and are published for those where a majority of trades are covered by current collective agreements.
The wage rates and indexes are subject to a 30-month revision period after dissemination of a given month's data. This is due to the length of time that can transpire between the expiration of a collective agreement and the ratification of a new collective agreement. The wage rates and indexes are not seasonally adjusted.
Next release
The Construction Union Wage Rate Index for July will be released on August 27.
