The union representing the flight attendants said Monday that if the deal is ratified, the work that flight attendants do before flights take off will be recognized.
The union, CUPE 8125, said that flight attendants will be returning to work now that the strike is over.
A key issue in the dispute was how flight attendants should be paid for duties performed while still on the ground.
“This tentative agreement represents meaningful progress,” CUPE 8125 President Alia Hussain said in a statement.
