A special mediator has been appointed for the UNBC strike by the provincial government.
Trevor Sones has been appointed to take on the role.
In a statement by labour minister Harry Bains he says, “our government supports the collective bargaining process and I firmly believe that collective agreements are best when negotiated at the bargaining table. I am encouraged that both parties have agreed to work with a mediator and am hopeful that the timely resolution of the dispute can be achieved.”
UNBC is also supportive of mediated talks and looks forward to continuing negotiations towards an agreement.
