WINNIPEG—Canadian bus maker New Flyer Industries says workers at one of its U.S. plants are set to vote on a new collective bargaining agreement.
According to New Flyer, it has reached a tentative agreement with the Communications Workers of America, which represents workers at the bus maker’s St. Cloud, Minn., facility, on a tentative four-year agreement.
New Flyer says the tentative deal was reached prior to the current agreement expiring March 31.
