The Saskatoon Transit labour dispute between the city and Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 615 may soon be over.
“Bargaining has concluded and we have a tentative agreement for you to vote on,” reads a statement on the union’s website intended for its members.

A ratification vote is planned for the Ramada Hotel on Tuesday. Information meetings will be held at 10 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. CT and voting is scheduled to happen between those hours.
Should the union accept the offer, the deal will go to Saskatoon city council for approval, which is required to finalize a contract.
Employees started working to rule and refusing overtime during job action that began last month.
The disruption has led Saskatoon Transit to cancel some bus route loops, while other buses have seen higher volumes of passengers.

Job action is expected to continue until the agreement is ratified, according to a news release from the city.
The parties have been without a contract since 2012.
