OTTAWA, July 21 (Reuters) - Canada's Pacific dock workers' union said it reached a new tentative contract agreement with employers and that its leadership would vote on Friday on whether to put the deal up for ratification by members. The local unit represents 3,000 of the 7,500 dock workers who went on strike for 13 days earlier this month. A ILWU source confirmed that the entire union leadership, and not just the Local 502, would vote on whether to ask for ratification. That strike ended last week with a tentative deal that was rejected by union leadership on Tuesday. But the ILWU then withdrew its strike notice on Wednesday, leaving the talks in what the British Columbia Maritime Employers Association (BCMEA) said was a "fluid and unpredictable situation."
