The hospital said that UNAP’s bargaining committee unanimously supported the deal, which the union will vote on Wednesday.
Details of the deal were not immediately available.
The tentative agreement is another step in a public battle between the two sides after the union’s contact expired June 30. Previously, a tentative deal had been voted down by members, who voted for a four-day strike. Both sides had also filed unfair labor practice complaints against one another during negotiations.
