A tentative agreement has been reached between Brink’s Canada and Unifor, to avert a strike that was due to begin today.
The agreement covers about 800 Brink’s workers in Ontario and 260 in British Columbia.
Unifor says details of the tentative deal will be released after ratification votes are cast in the coming days.
Union spokeswoman Kathleen O’Keefe earlier said the key issue at the bargaining table was how many people are in the armoured vehicle.
She said in most cases, there are only two people in the truck and the union wants that increased to three.
Other issues include wages, overtime pay, pensions and benefits.
The union says it is recommending that its members approve the deal.
