The Construction Union Wage Rate Index (including supplements) for Canada remained unchanged in February compared to the January level of 138.0 (1992=100). The composite index increased 1.9% compared with the February 2006 index (135.4).
Union wage rates are published for 16 trades in 20 metropolitan areas for both the basic rates and rates including selected supplementary payments. Indexes on a 1992=100 time base are calculated for the same metropolitan areas and are published for those where a majority of trades are covered by current collective agreements.
