It is official, University of Michigan Health-Sparrow and healthcare professionals have ratified a new contract.
On Thursday, healthcare professionals and nurses at UMH-Sparrow voted overwhelmingly to approve a contract with their employer.
The contract has a wage increase of 20-to-32 percent and increased benefits.
This comes after months of negotiations and a potential strike that was avoided after an agreement in principle on Jan. 14th between both parties.
In a statement, UMH-Sparrow officials said they are grateful to all team members for continuing to put patients and the community first.
