Your bargaining team met with the County today. 

Your bargaining team met with the County today. We passed some proposals. We have an agreement on:

• Sick Leave Verification
• Union’s longevity proposal:
  • 1% at 10 years
  • 2% at 15 years
  • 3% at 20 years

Dropping part time hours from 1,560 per year to 1,559 per year

Here was the  County’s latest financial proposal:

• 3 % in the first year
• 3% in the second year

Your bargaining team counter proposed:

• 6.5% year 1
• 6% year 2

We also got the cost of moving from 80/20 health care premium split to 85/15 which would cost the County around $5 million dollars for the next year.

Your team will have more discussions about next steps to take. We still have language for part time hours, health care, and Juneteenth as a holiday  still on the table.

The team is committed to getting the best contract for all workers. We are set to meet with the County again on Wednesday, June 10.
