EDMONTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS SUPPORT STAFF STRIKE HOPEFULLY IS OVER

After days of intense negotiations, it appears the 9-week strike by CUPE 3550 Edmonton Public School support staff may soon be over. A tentative deal has been reached and members of CUPE3550 are scheduled to vote on Wednesday. If the members accept the proposed agreement could be back at work Thursday or Friday much to the delight of schools, children, parents and strikers who walked picket lines in some of the coldest weather this year.
