Striking airport workers in Winnipeg may soon be back on the job.
Late Sunday night, the bargaining team for the Public Service Alliance of Canada’s Union of Canadian Transportation Employees reached a tentative agreement with the Winnipeg Airport Authority.
The bargaining team is unanimously recommending acceptance and ratification votes are scheduled for Wednesday, PSAC said on its prairie region website.
No details on the tentative deal will be released until the members have an opportunity to meet and vote, the union said.
If the agreement is ratified, the union members will start returning to work at the airport on Thursday.
Union spokesman Thomas Linner said Monday the union would not comment further until after Wednesday’s ratification vote.
About 150 airport employees — including managers, tradespeople and administrative workers — went on strike July 24. They’ve been without a contract since June 30, 2016, and cited issues such as work being contracted out to non-union employees, wages and pension-plan changes.
