A tentative agreement has been reached between NextStar Energy and the union representing its 800 workers.

Unifor Local 444 posted to social media just before 1:00 Monday morning that the two sides had reached a deal.

The union reported on Friday that members had voted 98 per cent in favour of a strike to back their demands in a new contract.

The workers ratified a one-year agreement last July that included a one-time wage increase of five per cent, lump sum payments and pension improvements.
