17 week strike at Hudbay is over

Members of the International Association of Machinists Local 1848 have voted to accept a new three year agreement with Hudbay

 

Union President Rene Beauchamp reports that after 17 weeks on strike the members of the Machinists Union have accepted the offer by Hudbay 71 percent in favor.

 

The contract was negotiated with the aid of a Federal Conciliator and ends the strike by the Machinists Union that started on May 2nd

 

Their concerns at that time included the lengthy grievance procedures, contracting out by Hudbay and rates of pay they felt were well below industry standards. 

 

All other unions at Hudbay had earlier negotiated new three year contracts.
