"It's the same exact group that has campaigned against every contract," Rondeau said.
One of the contract's major draws was the salary increase, according to Williams.

"It's got good salary increases in it-the largest salary increase we've had for several years," Williams said. "We got an extra salary increase for the lowest-paid workers."
The contract does not contain any stipulations about outsourcing work, but that's not really a problem for HUCTW, according to Williams.
"We don't have the same sorts of threats or pressures that the other unions have," Williams said.
The contract will go into effect on July 1.
