In a press release Friday, the Syndicat des employées et employés professionnels-les et de bureau, section locale 610 (SEPB-610), said that the deal was reached on Dec. 31.

“We will not disclose any details of the tentative agreement until we have consulted our members,” said Marc Glogowski, president of SEPB-610.

The STM, for its part, said its board of directors will need to ratify the agreement.
“Once again, we have reached an agreement in principle that relies on compromises by both parties and respects the established financial framework,” said Marie-Claude Léonard, STM CEO.
