Both the Teamsters union and the Montreal-based beverage company confirmed the deal Thursday.

Details of the tentative agreement are not being disclosed before they are presented to members.

The dispute has focused particularly on wages amid rampant inflation, along with pension and work scheduling issues.

Local union president Eric Picotte says the three aspects of the dispute “have been addressed to our satisfaction.”

Union members went on strike on March 25 and then rejected a company offer. Workers will vote on the agreement-in-principle Friday evening, with approval leading to a return to work next week.
