PORT SEVERN – Inside and outside workers employed
full-time by the Township of Georgian Bay have reached a tentative agreement
with the employer on their first collective agreement. Workers were
scheduled to walk off the job at 12:01 a.m. Fri., May 18, 2007. The
tentative agreement means there will be no strike action to affect cottagers
this weekend.
“Our negotiating team fully supports the agreement,
and will recommend it to the members,” said OPSEU Staff Representative Terry
Krulicki. “We are pleased that mediation was able to produce positive
results.”
Members will vote on the tentative contract on
Thursday, May 25. Specific details of the agreement will not be released
until after the vote.
