The City of Mount Pearl and CUPE, which represents municipal workers, have reached a tentative deal.

The agreement will be voted on this week, and no details will be released until it is ratified by both sides.

It potentially brings an end to the strike which began on July 7, leading to the cancellation of most city services and programs over the summer months.

In a Tweet, the city said it was pleased to advise of the deal, adding that information regarding the resumption of services and programs would follow formal ratification.

Union president Ken Turner says negotiators did the best they could but now it’s in the hands of the workers.

“We’re satisfied with what we got,” he told VOCM News on Sunday afternoon.

“We achieved what we could in the moment and we’re gonna have to bring it to the membership and let them have a look at it.”
