(CNN) The Democratic primary debate scheduled for Thursday will go on as planned, after a labor dispute between a California union and a catering provider that threatened to derail the high-profile event was resolved. The announcements threw the debate planning into turmoil as top officials from the Democratic National Committee, including chairman Tom Perez, spent the weekend frantically working the phones to come to a resolution. "Sodexo at Loyola Marymount University and their employees negotiated through Monday evening to secure a tentative contract agreement," the union said in its release. "The Democratic National Committee and Tom Perez worked hard to help bring the situation to a positive resolution." The agreement still must be ratified by the workers to be official, according to Maria Hernandez, a spokeswoman for the union.
