Tentative Agreement Reached in Squamish, End of Lockout in Sight

SQUAMISH, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CUPE 2269 and the District of Squamish have reached a tentative agreement with the assistance of a mediator, after a nearly two-week long lockout forced 250 municipal workers onto picket lines.

“This has been a difficult chapter between the District of Squamish and their workers,” said Celeste Bickford, president of CUPE 2269. “Reaching a tentative agreement is the necessary first step towards rebuilding our workplace culture and improving staff morale, to ensure we can better deliver the vital services residents, business and visitors count on.”

Details of the tentative agreement will not be released until it has been presented to members for ratification, and picket lines will remain in place until both parties have ratified the agreement.
