Penn State technical service employees will not be going on strike following the announcement that union representatives and the university came to an agreement on a four-year contract.

Teamsters Local 8 posted Friday on its Facebook page that a tentative deal had been struck with Penn State on behalf of more than 2,700 workers in custodial, emergency medical response, food and housing departments, among others. The deal reportedly includes a 20% wage increase over the course of the agreement.

Almost 1,900 members voted Wednesday in favor of going on strike if a deal wasn’t struck by the Sunday, June 30, deadline. The move was intended to put pressure on the university administration to agree to a contract with union representatives, which was a successful strategy, according to the Facebook post.

The union said more information on the agreement would be shared during ratification meetings.
