The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), Local 3799 reached a tentative agreement with the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) in Prince George, B.C., on June 13.
The local began bargaining with UNBC in March.
“We had a great working relationship with the people at the table,” said Caroline Sewell, CUPE 3799 president.
“The employer worked really hard to reach the fair and equitable settlement that we are taking back to our members for ratification,” said Mitch Guitard, CUPE national staff representative.
Further details of the tentative agreement will not be available until after ratification by all parties, expected to be completed in June, said the union.
