The union representing more than 1,000 hourly workers at Tucson-based Raytheon Missile Systems has ratified a new, five-year collective bargaining agreement.
The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Local 933 announced the ratification of the contract in a vote at the Tucson Convention Center on Sunday, following 20 days of contract negotiations.
Officials of the union local, which as of 2015 represented about 1,300 workers at Raytheon, could not be reached for comment.
The unionโs previous, three-year contract with Raytheon expired Oct. 1.
Raytheon is Southern Arizonaโs largest private employer with more than 10,000 mostly salaried employees at several plant sites around Tucson.
