Voted for strike in July
An eleventh-hour contract settlement was reached between the Nishnawbe Aski Nation (NAN) and Public Service Alliance of Canada.
“We are grateful to learn that a tentative agreement has been reached between the negotiators for both parties that will avert a labour action,” said NAN Grand Chief Alvin Fiddler.
Details of the agreement reached were not released.
Nishnawbe-Aski Police Service (NAPS) officers voted overwhelming in favour of a strike mandate July 12, 2016.
NAPS is the largest First Nations police service in Canada, employing more than 130 officers and 30 civilians. Based in Thunder Bay, NAPS polices 35 communities which encompasses nearly two-thirds of the Province of Ontario.
