San Francisco city-wide workers have ratified a new two year, no concessions contract with management. Votes were counted Monday with 98 percent of members approving the contract.
“It was amazing to see hundreds of my fellow union members come together in unity to fight back the proposed concessions—and we did it,” said T. George Weeks, a child welfare worker and city-wide bargaining team member.
The tentative agreement, which must be approved by Mayor Ed Lee and the San Francisco Board of Supervisors includes:
- No wage concessions
- No concessions on healthcare premiums
- A three percent raise effective in 2014
- Temporary workers, following years of unfair treatment, will have priority for permanent jobs.
