NORTH BAY, ON, April 18, 2016 /CNW/ - The Ontario Northland Transportation Commission (Ontario Northland) and Teamsters Canada Rail Conference Division 910 announced that they have reached a tentative, five-year agreement. 

The tentative agreement covers 54 employees working as Motor Coach Operators, Operator Labourers and Dispatchers. 

"We are very pleased to have reached a tentative agreement with Teamsters," says Corina Moore, President and CEO.  "The union and the employees play an important and vital role to the success of Ontario Northland." 

"The tentative agreement will be placed before our membership for their review and consideration as part of our ratification process," says Greg Baker, representative of the local Teamsters Canada Rail Conference Division.
