Kern County avoided a possible strike by its employees by negotiating a contract deal with the Service Employees International Union.

Under the deal nearly 5,000 county employees represented by the union will get immediate raises of at least five percent, and as much as 39 percent.

All 6,600 employees represented by SEIU Local 521 will get at least a 4 percent raise and additional 4 percent raises in July 2008 and July 2009.
