Members had voted in favour of job action earlier this summer and had set a strike deadline in August before the ferry corporation and the union reached a ten- tative agreement thar kept ferries operating throughout the province. BC Ferries had asked the Labour Relations Board to class all of its runs across B.C. as an essential service to pre- vent a strike by the union. A subsequent ruling designated 50% of the corporation's Vancouver Island runs and 75% of its Gulf Island routes as essential. BAITISH COLUMBIA Reserve.

However, given the ten- sions created by the dysfunc- tional relationship that has characterized union/man- agement interactions over the past several years, the close vote is quite understand- able.” North Shore Family Court and Youth Justice Committee, 1999 Annual Report; fore- shore retaining, wall replace- ment at 4377) Erwin Dr; Dundarave Cafe application for entertainment endorse- ment to liquor licence; munic- ipal feaders” statement on cli- mate change; notice to amend the council procedure bylaw.

The agreement means peace of mind for both the travelling public and the ferry work-’ ers.” .
