The employees at Green Acres Country Care Center in North Branch belonging to SEIU Local 113 ratified a two-year contract Tuesday, March 22.
They had been working without a contract since July 2004 and had approved a strike in a vote several weeks ago if negotiations were not successful. No strike was ever called.
The contract that was ratified calls for a 10 cent raise across the board, retroactive to July 1, 2004, with a wage reopening Oct. 1, 2005. <snip>
