Union reaches tentative agreement

Workers at Canada’s borders are no longer planning to go on strike this week after their union reached a tentative agreement with the federal government.

Sharon DeSousa, the union’s national president, said in a statement that Tuesday’s news is a “well-deserved victory.”

The Treasury Board said the deal includes wage enhancements and other benefits, but it is not sharing further details until later. The union said details of the tentative agreement would be released after they are shared with members.

Union members will still need to vote to ratify and finalize the deal.
