The vote was the second in a month for members of the Service Trades Council, a group of six unions that represents 21,000 full-time workers. It passed 3,056 to 2,676. On May 18, workers rejected an identical proposed contract by about 2 percentage points, and the two sides extended their 2004 contract through June 20 as negotiations continued. This time around, voters were more accepting of the contract's provisions, Service Trades Council President Morty Miller said. "We're looking forward to working under the contract's terms," Miller said. The results satisfied Disney officials, spokeswoman Kim Prunty said. "We are pleased with how the negotiations process went, and we're pleased with the outcome of the vote." The contract is effective through Oct. 2, 2010.<<
