The five-year contract includes initial pay increases between 2.5 percent and 42 percent, as well as 2.5 percent annual pay increases for existing employees and 2 percent annual increases to the start rates, according to SEIU Healthcare Minnesota. It also includes full union health benefits, overtime pay after eight hours and increased life insurance, among other features.
