The City of Toronto and CUPE Local 79, representing municipal workers, have reached a tentative agreement on wage increases just before a strike deadline. The union secured provisions to end minimum-wage jobs throughout the agreement's duration, pending ratification. Earlier in the week, the city offered a 14.65 percent wage increase in its final proposal. With a strike imminent, union leaders prepared a counter-proposal, emphasizing their commitment to better worker conditions. Details will remain confidential until both union members and city council review the agreement for ratification.
