Rogers Sugar Inc. says it has reached a tentative agreement with the union representing workers at its Vancouver refinery.
Details of the tentative deal were not immediately available, but the company said a ratification vote will be held next week.
Approximately 140 workers at the refinery have been on strike since Sept. 28. 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.
