A marathon collective bargaining effort at the University of Rochester this week with a tentative agreement, the school announced.

Service workers on campus and at Strong Hospital plan to vote on the new labor contract early next month. The contract covers patient care technicians, nursing unit secretaries, environmental service and facilities employees, food service, transportation, and materials processing staff.

Officals say employee and management representatives met 19 times since August to negotiate the terms of the deal.

Details of the new contract will be released after the vote.
