The labour dispute between the Quebec government and its 1,800 engineers appears to be over.
The Association professionnelle des ingénieurs du gouvernement du Québec (APIGQ) announced Wednesday that 90.37 per cent of its members have accepted the agreement in principle reached on July 19.
A total of 1,610 union members took part in the vote, which began on July 21 and ended on Tuesday at 4 p.m.
The association notes the central element of the agreement is the creation of a new class of engineer, which translates into a salary increase.
The work week will be increased to 37.5 hours, allowing for greater scheduling flexibility.
