Ontario Education Minister Stephen Lecce announced on Sunday evening that the provincial government and the union representing education workers have reached a tentative agreement to avert a strike.

Speaking at Queen’s Park, Lecce said the tentative deal is good news for students.

"The biggest beneficiary of this deal is our kids, who are going to have some stability and be able to stay in school," Lecce said.

He said all parties achieved “incremental wins” during the negotiation process and the deal is “a positive outcome for all the parties.”

Lecce did not divulge details of the tentative agreement, which will be voted on by CUPE members before it is officially approved or rejected.
