Averting a threatened strike, the 40 members of the WGA East employed at The Dodo have voted unanimously to ratify a new two-year contract with Vox Media, the parent company of the popular animal content site.

All 40 members had signed a pledge to strike on Tuesday if a fair deal hadn’t been reached by today, when their old contract was set to expire.

According to the guild, the new contract includes a major increase in salary minimums for all job titles. The average annual salary for all those covered by the contract is going up $8,000 a year, and the new minimum salary level for the lowest tiered staff will go up $10,000 to a base pay of $60,000.

Upon ratification, every unit member will be in tier two or above, and the minimum salary of any current member will be $66,100.
