Governor Abercrombie says the tentative agreement with United Public Workers will help the state overcome its financial crisis.
As KHON2 first reported yesterday, the proposed contract includes furloughs.
Abercrombie, who in the past has said he opposes furloughs, says this deal will not impact state services.
"UPW has an incredible variety and spectrum of work responsibilities and so all that will be adjusted and dealt with so that the people of the state will have all of their service delivered all of the time," says Governor Neil Abercrombie.
UPW has scheduled a ratification vote on Oahu starting on Monday.
Voting on the neighbor islands will conclude November 21st.
