The union representing locked-out workers at JD Norman Industries has ended its 15-day blockade of the plant after an agreement was struck to pay a portion of the wages and benefits workers are owed.
Unifor Local 195 president Emile Nabbout said immediately after JD Norman’s U.S. owners filed for bankruptcy last week in Canada, the union went to court to fight for the 62 workers’ entitlements to everything from severance pay to pension/RRSP contributions.
