Compass strike may end soon
Sifto Canada Corp., a subsidiary of Compass Minerals has reached a tentative agreement with the Communications, Energy and Paperworks Union Local 16-O, which represents employees at the company’s salt mine in Goderich, Ont. Union officials have indicated that they intend to put the agreement to a ratification vote in early September. The mine’s management will continue to produce and ship rock salt to customers at reduced rates until union members ratify the agreement and return to work.
“We’re pleased that we could work with union negotiators to reach a mutually beneficial tentative agreement on all matters pertaining to a new three-year collective agreement,” said Angelo Brisimitzakis, Compass Minerals’ president and CEO. “We are looking forward to our Goderich mine employees returning to work as soon as possible.”
