Viterra and two Grain and General Services Union locals have reached a tentative settlement with the help of a conciliator.
Members of Locals 1 and 2 are expected to vote on the new contract by mid-May, according to a GSU news release. Senior company management must also approve the deal.
Details won’t be released until necessary documents are finalized, the union said.
Federally appointed conciliator Michelle Glubrecht met with the two sides earlier this month. Viterra had requested conciliation in early February after the GSU bargaining committee rejected its final offer.
Bargaining began in October and the last contract expired Oct. 31.
Locals 1 and 2 include about 400 staff in operations and maintenance and Regina head office.
Issues included hours of work, worker adjustment benefits and wages.
