The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 2034 has called off its general strike.

The union that represents over 2,300 Manitoba Hydro workers announced on Wednesday that all of its members would be on strike as of midnight on Thursday, March 18th.

The union says a final contract offer came in early Thursday morning, and members are set to hold a vote before going ahead with the strike.

Some front-line Hydro workers began striking last week.

Members set up a picket line outside of Dauphin’s Manitoba Hydro building on Friday.
