Tentative deal reached in Ten Ten Sinclair strike, workers to vote Friday
End in sight for weeks-long strike at Winnipeg non-profit agency caring for people with disabilities
A two-week strike at a Winnipeg non-profit agency caring for people with disabilities could be coming to an end.
The union representing 160 health-care aides for Ten Ten Sinclair who walked off the job earlier this month said in a statement to CBC News they have a tentative deal. The Canadian Union of Public Employees said the agreement will be voted on by members on Friday.
The strike has left 100 Winnipeggers who live with disabilities scrambling to get essential care.
Premier Wab Kinew also commented on the development Thursday following question period at the Manitoba Legislature.
"I'm not in a position to share all the details about what that tentative agreement has, but it's our hope that we can get the care that's appropriate for these residents delivered on a long term basis in a way that's respectful for the people on the front lines."
