Tentative deal reached with unionized shipbuilders working on navy vessels
HALIFAX — The union at the Halifax shipyard building the next generation of Royal Canadian Navy vessels says it has a tentative agreement with Irving Shipbuilding.
Both the union and the company said no details will be released until Halifax Shipyard employees have a chance to view it and vote on it.
Unifor gave 48-hour strike notice last week, but talks resumed before a Saturday deadline for the walkout.
Last week, the union said a strong majority of 850 members had rejected an earlier tentative contract.
