by The Cape Breton University Faculty Association says its members have voted to accept a tentative contract.
It says 203 union members voted 83.7% in favour of accepting the terms of the offer.
The tentative agreement was reached late Sunday afternoon after months of negotiations, with the help of a provincial conciliator.
The deal offers wage increases of 3.25%, 2.9%, and 2.75% over three years, plus one-time bonuses of varying amounts in each year.
The university was originally offering eight per cent over three years, while the union was looking for a 14 per cent raise over two years.
