The union representing employees of Superstore, Extra Foods, and No Frills across Manitoba reached a tentative agreement.
The bargaining committee representing over 3500 workers reached an agreement at 3:30 a.m. this morning with Loblaw.
Details of the tentative agreement will be presented to the members at meetings across the province, on Sunday, October 14.
The bargaining committee will recommend that the membership accept the agreement.
“Thanks to our members’ strong strike mandate and some long days of bargaining, we were finally able to get a deal we can recommend to our membership,” said Jeff Traeger, President of UFCW Local 832. “I cannot thank this bargaining committee enough for all the hard work they put in. We wouldn’t have achieved this without their effort.”
The contract expired last night, Thursday, September 27, 2018, at midnight, but it will continue in force and effect until the ratification vote.
