Stirke Over for YRB Workers

By 250 News

YRB workers  are back to work today having ratified a new collective agreement with the Prince George and Nechako operations.

The  BCGEU members had  been on strike since the 23rd of May.

The new contract  is a five yar deal that provides salary increases in each  year of the  package, and like the other contracts recently  ratified with other road maintenance companies,  the deal includes sick benefits, auxiliary recall provisions, auxiliary wage rates and job postings.

There are still  4 other  maintenance crews which have yet to settle.  That includes  70 YRB workers in the North Peace, and 30 workers employed by Caribou Road Services South in the South Peace.
