University of Minnesota, Teamsters reach deal to end strike that threatened Farm Aid concert

The University of Minnesota and its service workers have reached a deal, ending the strike that had threatened next weekend’s Farm Aid concert.

The strike involving 1,400 custodial, maintenance, food service and sanitation workers represented by Teamsters Local 320 began Monday. The walkout affected university campuses and satellite locations around the state.

The union announced on its Facebook page that it received an offer from the University of Minnesota that met its demands and it would put it to a vote. . .

Teamsters member and cook Sam Thibert said he’s been told that the contract provides the 3.5% wage increase the union wanted and that employees are going back to work Sunday. But Teamsters leaders haven’t shared anything else, he said.
