Committee advances multiple union contracts to full council, including SEIU, Laborers and Teamsters units
Summary
The committee approved for full‑council consideration several collective bargaining agreements covering roughly dozens to hundreds of employees across SEIU Local 1, Laborers Local 860 and Teamsters Local 507 units; some agreements are retroactive and include specified step increases and contract term end dates.
The committee reviewed and advanced multiple collective bargaining agreements to be heard by the full council later the same evening.
Director of Human Resources presented ratification ordinances covering: Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 1 (approximately 140 employees); Laborers International Union Local 860 (combined supervisory and nonsupervisory units totaling about 400 employees between units); and multiple units within International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 507 (full-time drivers and maintenance ~244 employees; guards ~22; seasonal drivers ~105; utility supervisors ~92). Several contracts include retroactive wage adjustments to March 31, 2025, and contract-term dates were discussed (one contract term noted through March 31, 2028).
Council members asked clarifying questions about step increases and timelines for reaching maximum pay steps; HR staff explained step schedules (six‑month steps up to four years) and confirmed retroactivity and contract term dates where applicable. The committee approved the ratification ordinances for consideration by the full council.
