This is day 230 in the strike
A 230-day-long strike by Essex County library workers may soon be over.
A tentative deal has been reached between CUPE Local 2974 and the Essex County Library Board.
The agreement was reached early this morning after a marathon bargaining session that started at 9am Wednesday.
No details have been released but the main issue in the dispute has been third party coverage for short-term disability.
The 58 full-time and part-time employees have been on strike since last June 25th.
A ratification vote is set for later today.
