A full day of bargaining Wednesday produced a tentative contract agreement between the union representing workers at the University of Toledo health sciences campus and the UT administration.

Members of Local 2415, American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees will learn details during voting, which takes place between 6:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. Friday at the Dana Conference Center on the health sciences campus, the former Medical College of Ohio.

UT and union officials said they would not release details before then, except that they agreed to a three-year pact.

Local 2415 represents about 1,800 hourly employees, from technical and clerical workers to nurses and respiratory care and occupational therapists.

UT trustees will consider the agreement on Monday.
