Unionized staff with the City of Yellowknife are gearing up for a strike and the city is preparing to lock out employees as the two sides try to reach a new collective agreement.
The Canadian PressYELLOWKNIFE –
“Our members, they’re ready for job action on Wednesday if it comes to it. We, the union – we’re ready as well,” said Lorraine Rousseau, regional executive vice-president of Public Service Alliance Canada North. “I’ll be on the picket line if a fair deal isn’t reached by then.”Both the city and union said they are committed to the bargaining process and hope to negotiate an agreement.
Rousseau said a strike could have meant work action, rotating strikes or a full-out strike, adding that workers don’t want a disruption of services. The city said it is disappointed with the strike notice from the union, adding that it would result in reduced services.
