BURNABY - British Columbia's main outpatient lab services provider and the union representing about 1,200 striking workers have reached a deal through binding recommendations from a mediator, ending roughly 10 weeks of strike action.

LifeLabs and the BC General Employees' Union both said they reached the three-year collective bargaining agreement after receiving recommendations from mediator Mark Brown, and it will remain in effect until March 31, 2027.
