After more than three months of collective bargaining, including the last week as COVID-19 escalated to a global pandemic, the City of Toronto and CUPE Local 79 have reached a tentative agreement and avoided a labour disruption.
The five-year agreement is fair to Toronto residents and Local 79 workers.
Details of the tentative agreement remain confidential until the union membership and Toronto City Council have had the opportunity to review the agreement and vote on ratification, details of which will follow.
Toronto is home to more than 2.9 million people whose diversity and experiences make this great city Canada’s leading economic engine and one of the world’s most diverse and livable cities. As the fourth largest city in North America, Toronto is a global leader in technology, finance, film, music, culture, and innovation, and consistently places at the top of international rankings due to investments championed by its government, residents and businesses.
