After almost a year of long and difficult talks, a big delivery company in Canada and its workers' union have finally reached a temporary deal. This deal could help the company start working again very soon.
The company stopped its services and locked out more than 2,100 workers—including truck drivers, delivery people, warehouse staff, and office workers—on June 8. Because of this, many deliveries were delayed or not made at all.
Now that both sides have come to a basic agreement, work could start again. But first, all the workers need to vote on the deal. This vote is expected to happen in the next few days. Only after the workers agree will the company begin deliveries again.
One of the big reasons for the fight was the use of replacement workers—people hired to do the jobs of regular employees during the lockout. A new Canadian law now bans this, and it has become a key issue between the company and the union.
The country’s Jobs Minister even got involved. She met with both the company and the union last week after the company asked the government to help settle the matter.
Everyone is now waiting for the final vote. If the workers say yes, deliveries across the country may be back to normal very soon.
