Yesterday morning, the City of Corner Brook and CUPE Local 4386 entered confidential exploratory talks with the conciliator. These are scheduled to continue on Monday, November 9th. A statement from city hall noted they will not be providing comments regarding this process. Meanwhile, negotiations had been underway for months then workers voted in favour of strike action during mid-October but held off for negotiations to continue on October 19th. The next day during a news conference, Mayor Linda Chaisson said they were “left with no choice but to lock out Civic Centre employees in order to protect the safety and security of the facility.” There are 24- workers at the Civic Center.
