Northwestern Michigan College announced that its faculty approved a new employment contract.
NMC union employees voted almost unaminously today to accept the agreement that was reached after a 10-hour negotiation with a state mediator.
The faculty bargained for salary increases and more organizational flexibility after their contracts expired last December. An external fact finder report found salaries could be higher.
The NMC Board of Trustees will vote on the proposed contract next Monday.
The board is also finalizing contract details with Nick Nissley, who was offered the role as president of the college last month.
