There is labour peace for the Domtar mill and woodlands workers in Dryden. 

Employees of the mill represented by the Paperworkers Union have ratified a new five-year contract, by a 70 per cent vote.  

The contract is retroactive to 2009, so there are no wage increases for the first three years of the deal.  

But workers will get a one per cent hike in September for the fourth year of the agreement, and another 1.5 per cent in September of 2013. 

There are also improvements in benefits and contract language.
