In an email to CFJC, President Kyle Wolff says the parties are scheduled to return to the bargaining table on Monday (Oct. 19).

Members will be provided with a breakdown of both sides’ proposals when they go to the voting locations.

Teck Highland Valley spokesperson Dale Steeves sent CFJC an emailed statement: “HVC is committed to continuing negotiations and reaching a collective agreement that is fair, responsible and supports the long-term success of our employees, operation and communities.”

Workers at the Highland Valley Copper Mine have been without a contract since Sept. 30 this year after their previous five-year contract – which was ratified following a strike vote in 2022 – expired.
