Pine County approves 2025–26 labor agreement with corrections officers and dispatchers
Summary
After earlier mediation, the county and the bargaining unit approved a 2025–26 labor agreement for corrections officers and dispatchers; the board voted to ratify the agreement following confirmation the union membership approved it.
The Pine County Board of Commissioners approved the 2025–26 labor agreement covering corrections officers and dispatchers on Jan. 21, 2025, following mediation and a membership ratification by the union. County staff said the agreement was the same deal the board discussed at a previous meeting and that the union membership had voted to accept it.
County officials said negotiations reached mediation prior to final agreement. Board members noted a notably low voter turnout among union members during ratification; board members described turnout as low and said they had not received an official membership vote count during the meeting. The agreement was then presented to the board for approval.
Chair Moore moved to approve the labor agreement; the motion was seconded and carried on roll call. Commissioners recorded votes in favor; no opposition was recorded in the public roll call at the meeting.
Board members emphasized the agreement reflected the mediation outcome previously described at an earlier meeting. No specific dollar amounts or contract terms were read into the public record at the meeting aside from confirming the contract emerged from mediation and has union approval.
