(KAPUSKASING ) - Following
two days of conciliation this week, the
bargaining team for OPSEU Local 639 representing
80 workers at Jeanne Sauvé Family Services has
reached a tentative contract settlement with
their employer.
A ratification vote is set for
May 10.
On Apr. 21 members of Local 639
voted 90 per cent in favour of strike action,
had negotiations failed.
Jeanne Sauvé Family Services
staff members operate programs for at-risk
children and young people in seven communities
in northeastern Ontario, including Kapuskasing,
Cochrane, Smooth Rock Falls, Timmins, Val Rita,
Moonbeam and Hearst.
