One day after rejecting an offer from Manitoba Public Insurance, the union representing 1,700 striking employees says it has reached a tentative agreement with the crown-owned auto insurance provider.

Voting on the agreement will take place today, and leadership of the Manitoba Government and General Employees Union is encouraging its membership to approve the package.

It includes wage increases of 13 per cent over four years plus a signing bonus and other benefits.

Workers have been on strike since August 28th, with the work stoppage disrupting services at M-P-I such as driver testing and claims assessments.
