CUPE 1123 represents 150 library workers who work at 16 different branches in the Okanagan. The union says negotiations are at a standstill despite multiple bargaining sessions and two mediation sessions. Outstanding issues include wage increases and benefits.
Despite the strike vote, the union says no immediate job action is planned. It hopes both sides will return to the table to negotiate a new collective agreement.
