WINNIPEG – Manitoba Hydro has settled with two non-striking unions, but electrical workers continued to walk the picket line Tuesday.
Manitoba Hydro announced tentative deals have been reached with its 1,500 mostly clerical workers under the Canadian Union of Public Employees, and 260 employees represented by the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union.
The non-striking unions settled for a four-year deal with a 10.659 per cent increase in salaries and benefits, said hydro spokesman Glenn Schneider.
“It’s not what we started from, and it’s not what they started from, but somewhere in between,” he said.
There were no talks Tuesday between management and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, and no talks were scheduled as of Tuesday evening. The IBEW represents about 2,900 electrical workers at Manitoba Hydro.
The electrical workers have been on strike since 6 p.m. last Friday.
