City of Toronto and TCEU Local 416 – CUPE reach tentative agreement

After two months of collective bargaining, the City of Toronto and the Toronto Civic Employees Union (TCEU) Local 416 – CUPE have reached a tentative four-year agreement. This milestone represents a true partnership as both sides came to the bargaining table and achieved an agreement, two weeks before the current collective agreement is set to expire.

TCEU Local 416 (CUPE) represents close to 5,600 outside workers. The agreement is fair and reflects the important work of City employees while also providing value for money for Toronto residents and businesses.

Details of the tentative agreement will remain confidential until the union membership and Toronto City Council have had the opportunity to review and ratify the terms, both of which are planned for later this week.
