Saint John Transit workers have a new tentative collective agreement with the city.

Bargaining teams on both sides reached a tentative deal on Wednesday, the city announced Friday.

“Details will be available once both sides have ratified the agreement,” said a news release.

The Saint John Transit Commission will be asked to approve the new agreement at a meeting on Feb. 4.

On that same day, the executive of ATU Local 1182 will ask its membership for ratification at a separate meeting.

“Representatives worked collaboratively to reach the tentative agreement despite challenging fiscal realities,” said the city release.

Transit workers have been without a contract since last January. Negotiations began in June.
