Minister Leitch congratulates both parties
June 8, 2015 – Ottawa, Ontario – Employment and Social Development Canada
Today, the Honourable Dr. K. Kellie Leitch, Minister of Labour and Minister of Status of Women, congratulated CityWest Telephone Corp. and Local Union No. 213 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers on the renewal of their collective agreement.
The agreement was reached with assistance from the Labour Program’s Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS). The FMCS provides dispute resolution and dispute prevention assistance to trade unions and employers under the jurisdiction of the Canada Labour Code.
“I applaud CityWest Telephone Corp. and Local Union No. 213 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers for working together and finding a solution that will benefit everyone. The best solution is always the one that the parties reach themselves.”
