CUPE, Ontario government reach deal; strike called off

A school strike has been averted in Ontario as education workers and the government reached a tentative agreement late Sunday afternoon.

The agreement comes after a weekend of intensive negotiations between the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) and the province.

Few details have been released about what is included in the tentative agreement; however CUPE has previously said the government had come to the table with a 3.59 per cent wage increase for workers.
