UPDATE: Tentative deal reached between Coast Hotels and union

Dec 11, 2018 | 4:00 PM

NANAIMO — Fractious labour negotiations between Coast Hotels and their Nanaimo employees are over after two lengthy days of talks.

Unite Here Local 40 representative Octavian Cadebeschi confirmed to NanaimoNewsNOW a tentative agreement was reached around 3:30 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 14.

The agreement affects roughly 250 employees across B.C., including 100 at Nanaimo’s Coast Bastion hotel. 

It’s currently a tentative agreement and is expected to be ratified by union members early next week. 

Since it hasn’t yet been ratified, Cadebeschi couldn’t discuss details of the agreement but said everyone involved with the negotiations is pleased with the result.
