You won't have to worry about any more delays at the Chipman Hill Parking garage.

 The two week old strike which affected operations at the Delta Hotel and Brunswick Square as well ended over the weekend after 88 per cent of the membership voted in favour of a new 3 year contract agreement.

The President of local 1306 of the United Steelworkers Union, Dave Andrews tells CHSJ News both sides wanted an end to the walkout.

Andrews says the new deal includes what he calls modest wage increase from 8 to 14 per cent.
