VANDERHOOF — Municipal workers in the District of Vanderhoof have voted in favour strike action.
CUPE Local 1632 members have voted overwhelmingly in favour of strike action after months of uncertainty stemming from Mayor and Council’s decision not to ratify an agreement previously reached at the bargaining table.
“Our members believed a fair agreement had been achieved through negotiations,” said Dan Middleton, President of CUPE Local 1632. “After months of delays, workers are looking for the employer to honour that agreement and provide certainty for them and their families.”
Collective bargaining began in November 2024, and with the assistance of a mediator from the BC Labour Relations Board, the parties reached a tentative agreement in January 2025.
