A special council meeting has been scheduled for next week to consider a tentative agreement reached with the union representing Toronto's outside workers.
The City of Toronto and CUPE Local 416 signed a collective bargaining agreement on Thursday, just days after the two sides reached a tentative agreement.
The deal, which was reached in the early hours on Feb. 5 and finalized Thursday afternoon, averted a strike that would have seen many of the city's services brought to a standstill.
Members of Local 416 are set to ratify the agreement on Monday, Feb. 13.
Union president Mark Ferguson recommended that his members vote in favour of the deal, noting "the exceptional circumstances in this round of bargaining."
The special city council meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 15. Details of the agreement will be released once it has been approved by council.
