Rogers Sugar Inc. says unionized workers at its Vancouver refinery have ratified a new collective agreement.
The five-year deal brings an end a strike that began in September.
The company says the Vancouver refinery employs about 140 unionized workers.
According to the Public and Private Workers of Canada union, the labour dispute stemmed from issues such as wages, benefits, and the company’s proposal to increase refinery operations to 24 hours a day, 365 days per year.
