KAMLOOPS, B.C. – The United Steelworkers union says workers at a Hudson’s Bay store in Kamloops, B.C., have ratified a new deal with their employer after a 165-day strike.
Workers with Local 1-417 walked off the job on Dec. 10 last year after they were unable to reach an agreement on wages with the retailer.
The union says the months-long strike resulted in improvements to contract language, more job protections, wage hikes and lump-sum payments.

The deal was reached after the province appointed a mediator earlier in May.
Hudson’s Bay spokeswoman Tiffany Bourre says the company is pleased the deal was ratified, and the store is expected to re-open the second week of June.
USW Western Canada director Scott Lunny thanked Kamloops residents for their support, and said workers look forward to welcoming them back to the store.
