Maybe, just maybe.
Watching the CHEK news last night and listening to the CBC this morning leads us to believe there may be, just maybe, some cause for very cautious optimism. CUPE's Ed Seedhouse and GVLRA's Board Chairman Ted Daly were making conciliatory noises.
CUPE and the GVLRA are meeting with a mediator. Daly said he hoped the issues could be resolved this weekend, and was prepared to negotiate over the weekend, if necessary. Seedhouse appeared to agree.
The important part of the reasons given for this turnaround was the anger and frustration expressed by you, the users, for this senseless lockout.
Our reaction? We hope they mean what they say. We wish a speedy return to the full service library we've been paying for. But don't throw away your "get our library open" signs just yet. We'll stay on their case until they deliver on what both CUPE and the GVLRA are saying now.

Talks were extremely positive yesterday and both sides feel confident that we will have a deal on Monday. We have a Union meeting scheduled for Monday night which is likely to be a ratification meeting.
I can't tell you more until after we meet on Monday unfortunately.
Thank you for all your help.
Ed Seedhouse
President,
CUPE Local 410.
