Members of the Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties (APSCUF) voted in favor this week to ratify the tentative contract agreement that negotiators came to in February.

The vote began earlier this week and every member of the union which includes all 14 state universities and was counted in Harrisburg today and passed by a majority vote.

There is also a small pay increase for the next four years that follows a 0-1-1-2 pattern. Although according to an email sent by APSCUF president Steve Hicks, this pay increase does not keep up with the rise of inflation, but it was a concession that was necessary to move the negotiations forward.
