BURNABY, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CUPE 7000, representing more than 1,000 workers at SkyTrain, has reached a tentative agreement on a new five-year contract with BC Rapid Transit Company. The agreement was reached yesterday (June 29) following 10 days of negotiations.

The new collective agreement features wage increases, improvements to existing language and benefits, and new contract provisions not previously bargained.
