The Government of Nunavut (GN) has now ratified its tentative agreement with the Nunavut Employees Union (NEU) and the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) which was agreed to back in March.

Over 4,000 GN employees who have been working under an expired labor contract for three years are now covered under the new collective agreement.

In an announcement, NEU officials said they would have preferred the GN come to the table at a much earlier time than they did.
