Dilico Anishnabek Family Care workers are heading back to work after accepting a new deal Monday.
Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union representative Marvin Pupeza says some key concerns have been addressed in the tentative agreement.
“If we didn’t get the deal now, who knows how long the strike would have lasted?” Pupeza said during an interview with CKPR Radio Monday.
“We certainly didn’t want to put the membership in that position, so we made a decision as a committee and we put (the tentative agreement) forward to them.”
About 80 per cent of the nearly 300 striking workers who voted were in favour of the new deal.
During the labour dispute, workers on the picket lines said that wages and on-call shifts were some of the main issues that led to the strike.
