NAPE members with Presidential Estates Inc. have voted to accept their first collective agreement.

NAPE says government’s announcement of a 12.3 million dollar surplus, speaks volumes of the ridiculousness of the stand that government has taken in refusing to settle the year long strike on the Burin Peninsula.

NAPE President Carol Furlong today announced that NAPE has reached a tentative agreement with the City of St. John’s for members working at the Bay Bulls Water Treatment Plant.
