CUPE reaches new deal with City of Lethbridge

A tentative agreement has been reached between the City of Lethbridge and more than 900 employees of CUPE Local 70.

The union said negotiations with the city have been going on for 20 months and an agreement was reached on Wednesday.

CUPE represents internal and external employees in a range of city departments, including waste and recycling, water, parks and community services.

A local representative for CUPE told CTV News that no further details on the agreement will be provided until it has had the opportunity to present the deal to its members.

This meeting is expected to take place in the first week of November.
