The union representing 400 striking workers at Winnipeg's Bristol Aeropsace said Sunday it has reached a tentative contract settlement with the company.
Workers, members of the Canadian Autoworkers Union local 3005, walked off the job April 1, rejecting a proposed collective agreement that included reductions to workers' benefits, including pension benefits.
Union spokesman Jerry Dias said retired workers would not see their benefits cut off as a result of the deal reached Sunday.
Dias said the union's bargaining committee unanimously recommended members accept the new contract package.
A ratification vote is set for Monday and, subject to results of that vote and approval by the company's directors, workers could return to work as soon as Wednesday.
Bristol Aerospace is part of Magellan Aerospace Corp. and makes airplane components.
It was recently awarded work on Canada's new F-35 fighter jets.
According to the union, the main issues leading to the strike were company proposals to cut benefits for retirees and remove a built-in cost-of-living increase from the contract.
