A union representing 940 university faculty, counselors, librarians, Cooperative Extension agents and postdoctoral fellows primarily employed at the main campus will receive an annual salary increase of 3.3 percent over three years. But the university's contribution to net health care will be reduced.

A separate union representing more than 1,000 part-time non-benefited faculty negotiated a contract giving them a 4 percent raise each year for three years.

A separate group of about 260 custodians and maintenance employees will get a one-time $800 transition payment as the union's salary schedule is compressed. The university's health care contributions also will be reduced.
