Statement on agreement between Unifor and Marine Atlantic

Unifor and Marine Atlantic are pleased to announce that, with the assistance of Special Mediator William Kaplan, they have successfully resolved their collective bargaining impasse.

By keeping the interests of bargaining unit members, the travelling public, and the communities that rely on the service at the forefront, the parties were able to reach agreement on key outstanding issues.

The parties will continue working through the Special Mediator when they resume discussions July 27-31. As a result of this progress, there will be no labour disruption.
