The union representing 54 workers at Mirant Corp.’s Bowline power generating plant in West Haverstraw have reached a tentative contract agreement, averting a planned strike vote for later today.

The tentative pact, reached at 3 a.m. this morning, provides workers with pay raises, said Brian Scott, president of International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 503.

Scott declined to provide other details.

Workers will vote on the new five-year deal Monday at the Knights of Columbus hall on West Broad Street in Haverstraw village, Scott said.
