It gives pay raises to full-time, adjunct, and graduate student workers.

The contracts are good through the end of June 20-26. Union leaders praised the ratification, calling it a 'testament to all our efforts.'

This brings an end to tough negotiations, which included the first strike ever in the school's history.
