“We’re pleased that we were able to work with the Teamsters to resolve the outstanding issues so quickly.”
“The Canada Council of Teamsters is pleased to have reached a tentative agreement with Purolator,” said Bob Bouvier, president of Teamsters Canada.
“The agreement is being unanimously recommended by the bargaining committee. As a result of the tentative agreement there will be no labour disruption.”
The tentative agreement was reached with the assistance of senior officials from Federal Mediation and Conciliation Services.
