BRAMPTON, ON – The City of Brampton says it reached a tentative agreement on Tuesday with the union representing 1,200 municipal employees following a workers’ strike last Thursday.

The city says members of CUPE 831, a local unit of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, will hold a ratification vote on Friday.

Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown said in a statement that the city had proposed a “fair, multi-year agreement” similar to that of neighboring Mississauga.

The union previously said it had been trying to negotiate a deal with the city for nearly nine months.

The strike caused significant disruption, including delays to public transport and reduced services across the city.
