The strike ended on its third day after zoo officials and union workers signed a four-year collective bargaining agreement.
It includes a 20% wage increase over the course of the 4-year contract and the zoo will continue providing enhanced healthcare contributions and enhancements to staffing for the Zoo’s animal care and facilities teams.
The zoo says the agreement “reflects a shared commitment to moving forward together in support of the Zoo’s mission."
Employees are expected to return to work once the agreement is finalized.
