The union, representing over 2,400 marine drafters at Electric Boat, said 85% voted in favor of the ratification of the new five-year agreement which secures a 30% wage increase over the life of the contract and an improved wage progression. In total, members will see a cumulative $115,000-per-member increase in total compensation during the agreement, UAW said. The ratification comes over a month after members authorized a strike, demanding cost-of-living adjustments (COLA) to keep up with inflation.
