In a statement on Sunday, Teamsters Local Union 647 said a tentative agreement was reached and members are voting on it Monday. Although the agreement still needs to be ratified the union said its bargaining committee is recommending members vote to accept it.“I would like to thank our members for their incredible courage and solidarity, and salute everyone who supported us throughout this process,” said Martin Cerqua, president of Teamsters Local Union 647.

The union said the workers are in charge of cooking, packing, and delivering meals as well as snacks, beverages and other supplies to planes for in-flight service.The airlines affected by the strike include Air Canada, West Jet, United Airlines, Delta Airlines, TAP Air Portugal, Air India, Aero Mexico, SAS Scandinavian Airlines, and Jetlines.
