Let's make a deal

The Ministry of Truth (Provincial) reports:

Mount Pearl Employees Get Deal

The City of Mount Pearl has reached an agreement with unionized city employees. The deal with CUPE Local 2099 includes a 17 per cent wage increase over the next four years. Collective bargaining sessions began in May, and talks broke off last month when an agreement on wages couldn't be reached. The city and the union met with a conciliator earlier this month, and they reached a tentative agreement earlier this week, before the strike deadline.

Shhhh... don't tell you-know-who. He might slam you.
