National Grid and union leaders representing nearly 1,200 natural gas and power plant workers on Long Island reached a tentative contract agreement over the weekend.

In a statement from National Grid, they say the new deal “provides job security, fair wage increases, and equitable retirement and medical benefits for our workers.”

The deal averted a potential strike on Saturday. Union members will vote to ratify the new deal in the coming weeks.
