A tentative agreement has been reached between CUPE 2073 and Canadian Hearing Services.
Deal to be voted on Monday
A tentative agreement has been reached between Local 2073 of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) and Canadian Hearing Services.
The workers have been on strike since April 28.
No details of the deal will be released until workers review it and vote on it on Monday.
If approved, employees could be back on the job on July 14.
"Our members are incredibly eager to get back to jobs they love," said Local 2073 president Mara Waern.
"The deaf, deaf-blind and hard of hearing communities all supported us throughout this strike, walking our lines, sharing their stories and now it's our turn to support them by providing them kind of services they deserve."
CUPE 2073 represents about 200 workers in 18 different communities across Ontario.
