A ratification vote by 7,000 municipal workers in Detroit was expected today or Monday on a tentative three-year contract aimed at ending an 11-day-long strike. Terms of the pact were not officially disclosed, but television station WXYZ quoted unnamed union officials as saying the pact contained a 5% wage increase the first year. Subsequent raises would be between 2.5% and 6% the second year and no increase to 6% in the third, with the exact amount to be determined by city finances.
