Winnipeg Free Press Strike Ends After 16 Days

The Winnipeg Free Press will be back on the streets, doorsteps, and newsstands everywhere on Thursday. The unionize employees reached an agreement on Tuesday night after a 16 day strike.

Employees accepted a wage increases of two per cent annually for the next five years. The increase raises the annual wage of a senior reporter to $72,000 immediately and to $77,000 by the end of the contract. That is $72,000 more than an AccessWinnipeg senior reporter :)

Free Press carriers will also get a two percent increase.
