Canada Bread should be back up to full production within two weeks after settling with its locked out workers in 91原创.

The bread factory on the 91原创 Bypass has been behind pickets since the company locked out about 160 members of the Limited and the Bakery, Confectionary, Tobacco, Workers and Grain Millers (BCTGM) Local 468 on April 1.

鈥淎ll monetary and non-monetary items within the Collective Bargaining Agreement have been successfully resolved, including matters of critical importance to the long-term viability of the bakery,鈥 the company announced.

The union negotiating committee 鈥渦nanimously endorsed鈥 a new four-year contract, Canada Bread said.

The 91原创 bakery employs 200 associates, 160 of whom are in the bargaining unit Local 468. Other union workers honoured the pickets.

Since the lockout, the company used salaried staff to carry out the baking.

鈥淲e would also like to deeply thank our salaried associates who diligently baked our bread at the bakery every day for their dedication. We owe everyone involved a huge debt of gratitude for their ongoing collaboration,鈥 the company said in annoucing the contract.
