The union whose strikes have shuttered ports across Canada’s West Coast has decided to tentative settlement agreement up for a vote, just days after rejecting the deal and returning to the picket lines.

The International Longshore and Warehouse Union Canada (ILWU) informed employers that the caucus that previously voted down the deal has now given the agreement its thumbs-up.

That means union members will vote next week to ratify the agreement, the BC Maritime Employers Association (BCMEA) said.
