Via rail in has reached a tentative sell with the unification representing 2,400 of its workers crossways the rural area, the Crown corporation said on Friday.
The deal averts a walkout involving members of Unifor, who had voted for a strike mandate to be exercised as early as Sunday.
Unifor says the tentative agreement offers gains in wages, job security and working conditions.
The union represents workers at VIA Rail stations, maintenance centres, the customer care centre, in administrative offices and on board trains.
Unifor didn't release details of the deal, preferring to first inform its members at meetings scheduled over the coming weeks.
VIA Rail has said it was committed to a fair and reasonable agreement while remaining competitive and providing quality service.
The two parties had broken off contract talks earlier this month, setting the stage for a potential strike.
