City of Moncton strike averted with tentative agreement

New deal to be brought before city council on Dec. 4: PSAC

City Hall Employees Association (CHEA) members accepted a revised final offer received from the City of Moncton on Nov. 23.

About 230 Moncton municipal employees who are members of Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC), Local 60200 voted on the latest final offer during meetings at the Moncton Wesleyan Church.

"The members accepted the recommendation of their negotiating team and a majority voted in favour of accepting the final offer as a basis for the next collective agreement thus averting a possible labour dispute," said Colleen Coffey, PSAC regional executive vice-president for the Atlantic region.

The new collective agreement will be brought before the city council formally on Dec. 4 to be ratified.

The previous agreement expired Dec. 31, 2016.
