Lindsay, Ont. CUPE 855 members voted earlier today to accept a revised offer from the City of Kawartha Lakes, ending the 46-day old strike. Over 430 municipal workers went on strike on February 4 over issues of contracting out, age discrimination and management’s lack of respect for workers and public services.
We want to thank everyone for their support during this strike, said Lyn Edwards, CUPE 855 president. Our members are eager to return to work and serve our community. We remain committed to do what it takes to fight contracting out of public services in our community. {more}
