PRINCE GEORGE — The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) 3799 reached a tentative agreement with the University of Northern British Columbia yesterday (June 13).

CUPE says bargaining began back in March and note details of the agreement won’t be available until after ratification by all parties, expected to be completed this month.

“We had a great working relationship with the people at the table,” said CUPE 3799 President Caroline Sewell. “I want to recognize the hard work and dedication of the 3799 bargaining committee members, the Bargaining Information Group, and our National Servicing Representative.”

CUPE 3799 represents approximately 420 support staff including recruitment, registration, advising, admin support, IT and AV services, counselling and wellness, groundskeeping, facility maintenance, and much more.
