No details have been released yet on when a ratification vote will take place. Details of the agreement have not been released.

Unifor Local 2458 has also announced a tentative agreement for 16 employees in the school's Energy Conversion Centre (ECC).

Talks between the two sides heated up going into Labour Day, with the constables suggesting a walkout ahead of the start of fall classes. The union locals agreed to extend the current agreements so that the start of the semester would not be disrupted.

More to come.
