The union representing almost 1,500 Loomis Express workers says it has reached a tentative agreement with the company, avoiding a strike that was set to begin Wednesday.

Details of the tentative settlement were not immediately available.

Unifor says the deal covers hourly drivers, owner-operators, call centre staff, clerical, and warehouse workers at Loomis Express locations in B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.

The union says ratification votes will be scheduled in the coming days.
