Omni hotel workers in Boston vote to ratify new contract NBC Boston [Video]

After months of negotiations with Omni hotels and about a week of over 600 workers on strike in Boston, the union unanimously approved a tentative contract agreement Sunday to send those employees back to work Monday morning.

The tentative agreement was reached late Friday night and ratified Sunday afternoon. The president of UNITE HERE Local 26 says it’s a historic contract — the best they’ve ever had — and now they’re celebrating.

“My god I’m really really happy,” said Mirta McClung, who works in housekeeping for Omni Parker House.

“This contract will give us the ability to put some food on the table,” said Yuri Yep, a restaurant server at Omni Parker House.

The union didn’t release details on the terms that had been agreed to, but did say that, if they’re ratified, the workers will return to their jobs Monday morning.Follow NBC10 Boston:https://instagram.com/nbc10bostonhttps://tiktok.com/@nbc10bostonhttps://facebook.com/NBC10Bostonhttps://twitter.com/NBC10Boston
