HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
Contract negotiations began earlier this year between the City and AFSCME which represents a sector of the City’s general employees. The results of these negotiations are contained in the attached Tentative Collective Bargaining Agreement. The union membership voted and approved the agreement on August 14, 2018. The final step in the adoption of the agreement is the ratification by City Council.
The significant terms of the proposed agreement are to provide the following pay increases to the members of the collective bargaining unit:
Year One - FY 2019: (Beginning October 1, 2018) Three Percent (3%) pay adjustment for all members up to the maximum of assigned pay grade. Those bargaining unit members who are at the maximum cap or exceed the maximum cap because of this pay adjustment will receive the equivalent 3% pay adjustment exceeding the maximum cap as a one-time bonus
Year Two - FY 2020: (Beginning October 1, 2019) Three and one-half Percent (3.5%) pay adjustment for all members up to the maximum of assigned pay grade. Those bargaining unit members who are at the maximum cap or exceed the maximum cap because of this pay adjustment will receive the equivalent 3.5% pay adjustment exceeding the maximum cap as a one-time bonus.
Year Three - FY 2021: (Beginning October 1, 2020) Four Percent (4%) pay adjustment for all members up to the maximum of assigned pay grade. Those bargaining unit members who are at the maximum cap or exceed the maximum cap because of this pay adjustment will receive the equivalent 4% pay adjustment exceeding the maximum cap as a one-time bonus.
Additional consideration in the contract includes providing three additional holidays for bargaining unit members (President’s Day, Good Friday, and the Day after Christmas Day) which is consistent with the holidays currently provided for non-represented City staff.
