The union representing 1,500 service workers at the University of Minnesota announced a deal has been made to avert a looming strike.

Last month, Teamsters Local 320 said they were considering a strike as a move to counter "chronic understaffing, poverty wages, and abusive employment practices."

On Saturday, the union tweeted that a three-year deal had been reached with the university, and the strike was being called off. The union members still need to vote on whether to accept the agreement.
