NOSM, OPSEU head back to bargaining table Nov. 1

The Northern Ontario School of Medicine and OPSEU Local 677 have agreed to return to the bargaining table as of Nov. 1.

The two sides will be working with a provincially-appointed mediator.

"We look forward to returning to the table with renewed energy and a focus on bringing this labour dispute to an end," Tyler England, chair of OPSEU Local 677's bargaining team, said in a press release.

"We trust that management also shares this commitment to reaching a just and fair agreement."

Members of Local 677 have been on strike since Aug. 16. An earlier tentative agreement was rejected by the workers on Oct. 12.
