Members of United Auto Workers Local 6888, the union representing approximately 330 office professional employees at Central Michigan University, have voted to ratify a new one-year contract.
The new contract is effective July 1, 2009, through June 30, 2010.
The contract includes a 3 percent across-the-board wage increase and changes in university contributions toward the cost of health insurance benefits.
The university and union began negotiations on a new contract in May. Bargaining teams representing the union and the university reached a tentative agreement June 18. A ratification vote took place June 23 and 24.
