(Minneapolis, MN) -- Teamsters Local 320 won't strike after reaching a deal with the University of Minnesota.

The union shared the update on Facebook, going on to say that the three-year contract includes an at least 12-percent wage increase and extended health insurance.

Had a deal not been reached, the union that represents around 15-hundred university service workers would have gone on strike on campus in Minneapolis and St. Paul Wednesday.
