TORONTO - The union representing 2,500 Bell installation and repair technicians in Ontario said Friday the workers have voted to accept a new five-year contract.

The contract will increase wages for permanent technicians by 15 per cent over the term of the contract as well as provide improvements to benefits, pensions, vacations, and seniority rights, the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union of Canada said.

"Our members refused to let Bell Technical Solutions force them on to the hard-times bandwagon," Barb Dolan, administrative vice-president for CEP, said in a statement.
