Viceroy Homes Back in Business

Good news for the folks in Port Hope. Viceroy Homes will be back to building homes as its employees put pen to paper and signed a 3-year deal on Monday, this according to the Chris Lindal, the company’s chief officer for operations.

He said that Viceroy is happy to have reached a long-term accord that pleases both the company as well as its unionized employees. It’s a fair agreement that everyone likes, he added.

Though he didn’t disclose the full details of the deal, Lindal said that the agreement gives stability to the workforce, allowing Viceroy to provide new services to their customers, as well new products to be manufactured in the Port Hope plant that will distributed to all parts of the globe.

On December of last year, close to 60% of Viceroy Homes’ factory workers from the plant in Port Hope rejected a proposal presented by the company, leaving the future of the plant in limbo for a few weeks.

It’s worth noting that Viceroy Homes has been a part of Port Hope’s industry for more than 20 years. Lindal said that he owes it to the town and its residents to present a better deal to the company’s employees.
