Contrast agent and virtual colonoscopy developer E-Z-EM said that E-Z-EM Canada, its wholly owned subsidiary, has concluded contract negotiations with Local 7625 of the United Steel Workers of America, representing 100 employees at its Montreal production facility.

The renewed contract became effective on December 19, 2004, and runs until December 18, 2010, E-Z-EM said.
