Unit 1 specific contract information
2:37 PM - July 18, 2013
A wage increase, a guarantee of no new furloughs and a range of
other improvements to our rights and working conditions lead the
advances secured in our new 3-year Master Agreement. The
agreement was reached between the Local 1000 bargaining team and
representatives of the state, ratified by 90 percent of voting
members and signed into law by the Governor. Language is also
included pertaining to each individual unit.
Our bargaining teams and member activists will continue to fight
for our rights and monitor the implementation of any changes
made. “We’ve fought hard for this new contract–now it’s time to
put it to work for us,” said Tamekia N. Robinson, vice president
for organizing/representation. “Our goal is to train all of our
stewards over the next few months on the changes in the new
contract. A contract is only as good as its implementation.”
