Next the County will have the County Council review the contract as well as both the County and 1014 will go trough the contract line by line to make sure that everything is correct then the contract goes to the Board of Supervisors (BOS) for approval.
This all may take a few weeks but the agreement took affect September 1, 2015 so the salary increase goes in to effect that day.
We want to thank the membership for standing strong during these negotiations. At times we felt like we were getting no where with the County but eventually we were able to settle on a fair contract. Does it give us everything we feel we deserve? Of course not. In the opinion of the 1014 Executive Board it is a fair contract that continues to put our membership ahead of other Locals throughout the state.
We are still in Fringe negotiations and hopefully we will be getting those negotiations completed soon. We will update you on the outcome when we have more details.
603 & 604 negotiations will begin in the next 2 weeks.
Any questions please let us know.
Again thank you for your support.
Fraternally,
Your Local 1014 Executive Board
