TENTATIVE DEAL REACHED IN HALIFAX SCHOOL SUPPORT WORKERS STRIKE

After more than a month of job action, the union representing striking Halifax-area school support workers have confirmed they’ve reached a tentative agreement with the Halifax Regional Centre for Education.

In a statement released Wednesday by CUPE Local 5047, the organization representing the striking workers, president Chris Melanson said reaching the agreement was “made possible by the fierce determination of school support staff in the HRM.”
