Manitoba Hydro suspends strike action after reaching tentative agreement

A spokesperson for Manitoba Hydro says they have reached a tentative collective agreement with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) union.

The union began strike action on June 30th. IBEW represents approximately 2,300 electrical workers at Manitoba Hydro across the province.

Specific terms of the offer will not be disclosed. 

The union has indicated it is recommending acceptance of the offer. In a press release late Wednesday afternoon, the union also agreed to pause all strike action effective immediately pending the results of a ratification vote next week.
