A strike planned for Dec. 4 at Regional Hospital of Scranton (Pa.) has been cancelled after hospital and union officials reached a contract agreement, according to a report by The Times-Tribune.
The new nine-month contract includes a 2.1 percent wage increase, according to the report.
SEIU Healthcare Pennsylvania members originally planned to strike Nov. 13, but they pushed back the date because of the hospital's willingness to negotiate. The union represents about 800 employees at the hospital.
