Sixty-three percent of the members of Local Lodge 774 of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers voted in favor of the new contract, which takes effect Monday. The union represents about 5,400 hourly workers at Cessna.

Machinists union District 70 president Steve Rooney said he was pleased with the large turnout, but declined to say how many voted. Union negotiators unanimously recommended ratification.

The new contract includes a 5 percent wage increase the first year and a 4 percent increase in the second and third year, a $3,000 ratification bonus and a choice of three health care plans, along with equal premiums for each plan.

Cessna Aircraft is a unit of Textron Inc., based in Providence, R.I.
