© Jeff Stapleton/CBC CUPE Local 500 president Gord Delbridge says it's unfortunate it took until mere hours before the strike deadline to reach a tentative agreement with the City of Winnipeg. The City of Winnipeg and the union that represents thousands of municipal workers have reached a tentative agreement on Tuesday evening, narrowly avoiding a strike. Just before 8 p.m., the union announced that a tentative agreement was struck. City Chief Administrative Officer Michael Jack said the city was "seeking clarity from CUPE" regarding its public statement about a deal. After Jack's refutation that a tentative deal had indeed been reached, the union renewed the threat to strike.
