The union representing employees of University of California Health has ratified a new contract, according to an LA Times report.

The union and university officials have been negotiating new contract terms for nearly a year. According to the report, those discussions revolved mainly around over employee pension contributions and retroactive pay raises.

Under the new contract agreement, patient care employees will receive a 3 percent pay raise retroactive to January and another 3 percent pay raise next year. The new contract also requires employees' contributions to retirement funds be 3.5 percent of pay retroactive to July 1, 2011, and 5 percent of pay starting July 1, 2012.
