REGINA — After a labour dispute that spanned more than six months, the Co-op Refinery says it has come to a tentative agreement with Unifor Local 594.
“This deal, if accepted by bargaining unit employees, along with the operational efficiencies our team has recently realized, will go a long way towards ensuring a sustainable CRC for generations to come,” said Gil Le Dressay, Vice President, Refinery Operations in a news release. “The labour disruption has been a difficult process for everyone involved, but we are hopeful that the membership will ratify the deal, and our employees will return to work soon. We want to thank our community for their patience and support throughout this process.”
A release from the refinery says the Union Bargaining Committee has tentatively accepted the proposal, which means it will be recommended to members.
The union will have to hold a ratification vote.
CTV News Regina has reached out to the union for comment.
