The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) said in a statement early Tuesday that a tentative agreement has been reached to end the contract dispute between flight attendants and Air Canada.

CUPE said that after nine hours of talks with the assistance of the chief mediator appointed by the federal government, the deal struck will be presented to the membership, who will have an opportunity to ratify it.

The strike began early Saturday, but just hours later the federal government invoked a section in the Canadian Labour Code to order binding arbitration.
