Silverpeak, owners of the idle Come By Chance oil refinery, have reached a tentative deal after being without a deal for close to a year, according to a union representative representing workers on the site. (Sherry Vivian/CBC)Union officials close to the Come By Chance oil refinery say a tentative deal has been reached on a new collective agreement that could keep the facility from closing. Rob Thomas, Newfoundland and Labrador's representative with the United Steelworkers, told CBC News on Sunday a tentative deal has been reached at the North Atlantic Refinery with ownership group Silverpeak that could keep the refinery, which had been facing closure, open. Meetings on the tentative deal were to begin at 10 a.m. Monday to share the details with the union's almost 250 members. The refinery first faced closure in October, when a deal to sell the refinery to Irving Oil fell through.
