The union representing Metro Vancouver outside workers says its members have halted job action after both sides agreed on the appointment of a former British Columbia Supreme Court judge as an arbitrator in the ongoing labour dispute.
The Greater Vancouver Regional District Employees’ Union says former judge Stephen Kelleher will preside over the binding arbitration.
A statement from the union describes Kelleher as a veteran labour relations expert who chaired the BC Labour Relations Board before becoming a judge.
Metro Vancouver confirmed Tuesday that the two sides had agreed to binding arbitration and were working to find an arbitrator to help resolve the dispute.
