Prince George, B.C.-  UNBC and  it’s 300 support staff, members  of CUPE 3799, have a tentative agreement.

The  package is a  4 year deal  and  reflects similar agreements with  other CUPE locals  at other B.C. universities.    Retroactive to July 1st 2010,  the  contract would see no wage increases in the first two years, and  2% in each of the  last two.  It also provides  additional vacation time to long service employees.

Ratification votes are set for next week, with CUPE recommending the membership accept the deal.  UNBC officials will also recommend  acceptance by its Board of Governors.
