After months of negotiations and more than a year since the previous agreement expired, Qulliq Energy Corporation and the Nunavut Employee Union have come to a tentative settlement.
The deal, which was reached on May 13, has not yet been ratified.
Nunavut Employee Union issued a joint news release with Qulliq Energy Corp. on Friday announcing the update. Members from Public Service Alliance of Canada were also involved in negotiations, said Nunavut Employee Union president Jason Rochon.
Nunatsiaq News reached out to both parties for details on the agreement, including whether there were wage increases or other benefits gained by employees.
Representatives from the Nunavut Employee Union declined to share details of the agreement, saying the plan is to present those details to its members during ratification meetings.
The tentative agreement affects 200 employees.
