A committee made up of Labor Relations Division (LRD) members of MITA who are signatory with the Carpenters Outstate Agreement have reached a settlement with that union for a five-year deal. That agreement included some language changes, which were negotiated during discussions, held over the course of two weeks.

The economics of the five-year agreement includes a $1.40 increase in the first two years, a $1.75 increase in the third year and $2.00 increases in the fourth and fifth years. The total increase averages approximately 3.5% per year when spread over the five years.
