Pedestrians head past Halifax Central Library in Halifax on Wednesday, Dec. 9, 2015. (THE CANADIAN PRESS_Andrew Vaughan) CANADAHALIFAX news Halifax library workers accept deal to end strike; branches to re-open by admin 16 سبتمبر، 2024 written by admin 16 سبتمبر، 2024 33 CITYnews halifax / By The Canadian Press The Nova Scotia Union of Public and Private Employees Local 14 issued a statement Sunday saying the majority of its membership voted to accept the agreement, and libraries will likely reopen on an unspecified date later this week. But union president Christina Covert says a significant number of members voted against the offer, and more work needs to be done to improve pay and working conditions for library staff. The union did not share details of the agreement. About 340 workers at libraries across the Halifax region have been on strike since Aug. 26 as they fought for improvements to wages they said were far behind other libraries in Canada. Covert says union members are grateful for the public support they received throughout the strike, and she believes that support was instrumental in reaching an agreement. 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail admin previous post ‘Shogun’ and ‘Hacks’ win top series Emmy Awards and ‘The Bear’ and ‘Baby Reindeer’ take 4 apiece next post New MRI machine up and running at QEII You may also like Canadian Coast Guard crew member lost at sea... 18 سبتمبر، 2024 First American-born player unveiled as 36th captain of... 18 سبتمبر، 2024 Nova Scotia NDP accuse government of prioritizing landlord... 18 سبتمبر، 2024 Transport Canada orders plan to remove huge tidal... 18 سبتمبر، 2024 منعُ مدرّس في مونتريال من مواصلة التعليم لازدرائه... 18 سبتمبر، 2024 عمليات البدء في بناء منازل جديدة تراجعت 22,3%... 18 سبتمبر، 2024 تراجُع التضخم السنوي إلى 2,0%، هدفِ بنك كندا... 18 سبتمبر، 2024 Rogers acquires majority MLSE stake from Bell in... 18 سبتمبر، 2024 With strike over, Halifax Public Library staff return... 18 سبتمبر، 2024 Police charge relative with second-degree murder in Devon... 17 سبتمبر، 2024
