By KARLA WARD
Kentucky American Water employees who had planned to go on strike Friday night said they have reached a tentative agreement with the company.
The employees planned to vote on the agreement Friday evening, the union representing them said in a news release Friday afternoon.
The 68 workers are members of the National Conference of Firemen & Oilers, or NCFO, and have filed four complaints of unfair labor practices with the National Labor Relations Board since last week. They had planned to strike on Friday just before midnight.
