Windsor Salt Workers Reject Deal

Union members at Windsor Salt have turned down their tentative agreement.

The agreement was reached on July 20th between Windsor Salt and Local 240 and 1959.

“We respect our member’s democratic right and their vote.  We will be communicating the next steps when we have determined what that will be,” a Union statement said.

Unifor represents workers across three units at the mine. Local 240 represents the office workers, and Local 1959 represents workers at the Ojibway Mine and a separate unit at the evaporation processing fields.

Nearly 250 unionized workers have been on strike since mid-February.
