Saskatoon transit workers reach tentative deal with city

The Amalgamated transit union, local 615, reported late Friday afternoon that a tentative deal had been reached with the City of Saskatoon.

Members will have a chance to vote on that new deal on Tuesday.

ATU drivers had been refusing any overtime hours, in a form of ‘job action,’ as they tried to pressure the City into conceding to their contract demands.

Drivers have been without a contract for over four years. The main sticking point in negotiations had been on the structure of their pension plan.

No details have been released on the tentative deal.
