The Union, representing around 4,000 striking workers at the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB), says it has reached a temporary deal, which has ended the walkout over six weeks.
The Canadian Association of public employees, which represents workers, did not release the details of the agreement. Members are expected to hold a governance vote within the coming days.
WSIB President and CEO Jeff Lang said that the workers would return to the job within 24 hours of the approval of the deal.
Workers staged the first strike in the agency’s 111 -year history on 22 May after negotiating a new contract with the board.
The Sangh had earlier stated that wages, more resources and more training were among the major interaction points.
According to WSIB, Its final proposal A total of 6.75 percent increases in three years called for wages, which would have seen an increase of more than $ 98,000 to more than $ 104,500 in average salary. Also, the board stated that this Cassalide would dedicate full -time resources to work with the Joint Foundation Committee to remove concerns and identify the root causes.
Union President Harry Gosalin said, “It has been one of the most difficult quarrels in the history of our Sangh.” “For six weeks, we were strong on picket lines in every corner of Ontario. We made it clear: we will not back down from protecting public services, demanding respect and standing for injured workers. This temporary deal reflects that strength.”
WSIB provides wage-loss benefits, medical coverage and assistance to those who have injuries and diseases related to work.
