The deal includes a 54-hour weekend, 10-hour turnaround between shifts, and a 3% wage increase. However, the contract requires ratification, which may take weeks or months. While leadership views the deal as a success, many workers are dissatisfied, feeling it doesn't adequately address on-set working conditions.
