CNN —Disneyland has averted the possibility of the first employee strike in 40 years by reaching a tentative agreement with 14,000 workers on Tuesday.
Approximately 9,500 of those employees whose contract had already expired voted Friday to authorize a strike, which had yet to be scheduled as planned negotiations continued early this week.
The bargaining group of four unions, represents workers including ticket takers, candy makers, custodians, retail workers, and ride operators.

Union leaders said they will not release details of the tentative agreement until employees have the chance to review and vote on the contract next Monday.
