The union representing employees at the Delta Chelsea Hotel have agreed to a tentative agreement with management, ending the strike and avoiding the threat of a possible lockout.

The two sides negotiated through the night and finally reached a deal early Sunday morning, around 7am.

“We’ve grown closer together and with hotel workers from all over the city over the last 10 days,” said Lynne Hill, a server in the Delta Chelsea’s Monarchs Pub for 34 years. “We are proud of the strength we have shown.”

The union, Unite Here Local 175, says the dispute was over wages, job security, workload and benefits.

The 510 employees hit the picket lines 10 days ago. They voted 95 per cent in favour of a strike earlier this summer.

Union members will vote on the proposed agreement Monday.

Details of the agreement have not yet been made public.
