A new agreement in principle reached at the SAQ

The management and union parties of the SAQ finally reached a new agreement in principle on Tuesday evening.

The labor dispute concerned the renewal of the collective agreement for some 800 employees at the warehouse and at delivery.

The first agreement that was proposed last week was rejected by 86%.

“After having renegotiated intensively since the rejection, the negotiating committee is confident and eager to present the results of the latest talks to the general assembly,” said Joël Latour, president of the Union of Workers and SAQ workers in a press release.

Union members will meet next Friday and Saturday to endorse the agreement.
