Strike Action on Hold, Negotiations Continue for Powell River Library Workers

POWELL RIVER โ€“ CUPE Local 798, Powell River library workers, and the Powell River Public Library are set to continue bargaining discussions after significant progress was made over the weekend.

โ€œWe are encouraged by the approach the Library has taken to find concrete solutions to the longstanding issue of wage fairness for library workers,โ€ says CUPE Local 798 President Fred Stutt. โ€œWe remain hopeful, that with this collaborative approach, we will be able to reach a tentative agreement and avoid any job action.โ€

Negotiations are scheduled to continue later this week with the assistance of a mediator.

CUPE 798 represents workers at Powell River Public Library who provide important community services to residents.
