STEELWORKERS REACH TENTATIVE AGREEMENT WITH INCO:
MEMBERS VOTE WEDNESDAY
SUDBURY, ON - United Steelworkers' Ontario/Atlantic Director Wayne Fraser announced Monday that after 24 hours of mediated talks and a strike deadline of midnight Wednesday, a tentative agreement has been reached with Inco Ltd.
"No details will be released until members have had a chance to review them," Fraser said. Meetings will take place all day tomorrow (Tuesday) and a vote will take place on Wednesday. Results of the vote will likely be known by about 9:30 p.m.
Monday's agreement comes 24 hours after both sides agreed to return to the bargaining table with the help of a provincial mediator following a breakdown of talks early Sunday morning.
Members of USW Locals 6500 (Sudbury) and 6200 (Port Colborne) earlier voted about 98 per cent in favour of strike action if necessary.
The United Steelworkers represents 288,000 men and women working in every sector of Canada's economy
