Dec 20 (Reuters) - Strike actions have effectively ended at
a Canadian coal export terminal after the local union said it
reached a tentative agreement with Westshore Terminals
Investment Corp  WTE.TO .
    Union ILWU Local 502, which represents workers at the
terminal in Roberts Bank, British Columbia, did not provide any
details on the agreement in a statement dated Saturday.
    The union sent a 72-hour strike notice to Westshore on
Wednesday. 
    The company and union have been negotiating for several
months over a new collective agreement after a previous
agreement and two others expired Jan. 31.  urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL1N2IX2DF
