A new labor agreement has been reached between management and workers at the Hilton Vancouver Washington, although a union representative says more improvement is needed.

The hotel said Wednesday that it reached a new collective bargaining agreement with the local affiliate of Unite Here — which represents 116 workers at the hotel — that “provides for regular wage increases and expands eligibility for health benefits so more of our employees can have the security of employer-provided health insurance.”

The announcement caps negotiations over pay and benefits that grew contentious, with the union charging that the Hilton Vancouver lacked decent wages and affordable medical care.

The union also held public demonstrations to highlight its issues, including outside the doors of the downtown Vancouver hotel in June 2011.

The new agreement runs through June 30, 2014.

Eric Walters, the hotel’s general manager, said in a news release that the agreement is “good for employees, good for the hotel and good for our community.”
