ST. JOHN’S, NL – The Newfoundland and Labrador Association of Public and Private Employees (NAPE) and Memorial University have reached a tentative agreement for maintenance workers.
There are about 165 workers who are part of the maintenance collective agreement at the university.
In a press release issued by NAPE, the union wrote it’s scheduled to begin bargaining in the coming weeks.
“Our MUN maintenance members are an integral part of the university community – creating, building, fixing, and maintaining. The University relies on their skills and labour to operate,” union president Jerry Earle was quoted saying.
“We are happy to reach this tentative agreement. Our bargaining team has reached the best possible result at the table; one that we believe will be acceptable to the membership. I would like to thank both teams for their hard work, determination, and open communication throughout this process.”
The news release stated that details of the tentative agreement will be released to members at the ratification meetings, which are currently being scheduled.
