HALIFAX -- The Halifax Chronicle-Herald and the union representing the paper's striking newsroom workers have reached a tentative agreement in their 18-month-old labour dispute.
The Saltwire Network, which owns the Herald, and the Halifax Typographical Union said in a joint statement Saturday that a deal was reached after two days of mediation.
"(The parties) are pleased to focus on putting this difficult period behind them," the statement said. "We look forward to working together to provide Nova Scotians with the news and information they rely upon."
The employees still must vote on whether to accept the agreement.
The terms of the deal have not been released.
Both parties thanked mediator William Kaplan, who was appointed by the Nova Scotia government in July to help the two sides reach a settlement.
About 60 reporters, photographers, editors and support staff walked off the job on Jan. 23, 2016, over a list of contract concessions that management said were needed to cope with economic challenges affecting the North American newspaper industry.
