The employees cook, package and deliver food and drinks to planes for service on board, with Air Canada and WestJet having to limit meal offerings during the two-week job action.
Gate Gourmet says it will return to regular operations at Pearson “as soon as possible.”
The collective agreement comes after Ontario mediators called picketing workers back to the table Friday for talks with the Swiss-owned company.
Gate Gourmet is the largest airline catering company operating out of Toronto, with clients that include United Airlines and Delta Air Lines and operations across 33 countries, including eight airports in Canada.
