A tentative agreement has been reached in the B.C. port strike on Thursday. The International Longshore and Warehouse Union Canada announced the tentative deal at 10:20 a.m. PT, but did not provide any further details.

The tentative agreement is subject to ratification by both parties and details of the agreement have not yet been released.

The union and the B.C. Maritime Employers Association had until 10:30 a.m. Thursday to accept the terms of a settlement recommended by a federal mediator that would end the 13-day-old industrial action. Terms of a settlement, recommended by the mediator, were given to the two sides on Wednesday.

About 7,400 workers have been on strike since July 1, halting shipments in and out of about 30 ports in B.C., including Canada’s largest, the Port of Vancouver. B.C. legislative bureau chief Keith Baldrey has the latest.
