Vancouver PL Strike Settled

摘要

After modifications were made to the deal they overwhelmingly disapproved in early October, more than 71 percent of 775 striking Vancouver Public Library (VPL), BC, staff voted October 19 in favor of a new contract, nearly three months after they walked off the job on July 26 (see News, LJ9/1/07, p. 16). Library staff were back at work on October 22, with the facilities scheduled to reopen on October 24. "We are going back knowing we have made important advances toward the long-term goal of achieving pay equity," said CUPE Local 391 president Alex Youngberg.
