According to union reps, the new two-year deal includes base wage increases from 11 to 18 percent.
Kevin White, president of Local 728, said that he was pleased with the outcome and proud of what members were able to accomplish.
“I, along with the majority of our members, feel like this is a great contract. We didn’t take a loss on a single thing, made gains greater than some unions who had to go on strike, and it was all possible because our members came together to form a credible threat,” said White.
