VANCOUVER – A tentative deal has been reached between employers and workers in the strike that’s halted shipments in and out of British Columbia ports for nearly two weeks.

A statement from the BC Maritime Employers Association says it has reached a tentative agreement with the International Longshore and Warehouse Union.

It says the four-year deal is subject to ratification by both parties, so details are not yet being released.
