The University of Guelph and Local 1334 of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) have reached a tentative agreement following bargaining talks earlier this week.
The agreement comes after members of CUPE 1334 — which represents the trades, maintenance and service workers at the university — voted on Feb. 13. in support of a possible strike action.
A statement released by CUPE 1334 and the University reads as follows:
“Together we have come to a fair agreement that recognizes the important contributions that bargaining unit members make to the U of G community while addressing key priorities of both the University and CUPE 1334. Talks between the parties were open, respectful and constructive. Both bargaining teams should be commended for their hard work and dedication in reaching a renewal agreement.”
Details of the agreement will remain confidential until ratification.
