Nunavut employees union, GN power corp. reach tentative agreement
The Nunavut Employees Union and Qulliq Energy Corporation have reached a tentative agreement on behalf of the power utility’s 160 employees throughout the territory.
Unionized QEC employees have been without a contract since Jan. 1.
NEU president Bill Fennel called the agreement “fair and equitable” and the result of “good faith bargaining.”
“We have now started the process of putting the tentative agreement before our members for a ratification vote,” Fennell said in a July 5 release.
“We feel that this agreement fairly addresses the concerns expressed by our members while keeping in mind the reality of the employer’s needs.”
The union did not offer any details on the tentative agreement.
If accepted by the NEU’s membership, the agreement would remain in effect until Dec. 31, 2020.
