The Construction Union Wage Rate Index (including supplements) for Canada was unchanged in September compared to the revised August level of 117.4 (1992=100). The composite index was up 2.4% compared with the revised September 1999 index.
Union wage rates are published for 16 trades in 20 metropolitan areas for both the basic rates and rates including selected supplementary payments. Indexes (1992=100) are calculated for the same metropolitan areas and are published for those where a majority of trades are covered by current collective agreements.
Available on CANSIM: matrices 956, 958 and 9922-9927.
