East Dundee board approves three‑year agreement with IUOE Local 150 including wage and insurance changes
Summary
Trustees approved a resolution authorizing a negotiated agreement with the International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 150; staff said the pact includes multi‑year wage adjustments, an equity adjustment, and changed insurance contribution rates.
The East Dundee Village Board voted Dec. 16 to authorize execution of a negotiated agreement between the village and the International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 150, covering public‑works employees. Village negotiating staff said the union ratified the agreement and highlighted several changes: multi‑year wage adjustments, an equity adjustment and changed insurance contribution shares.
During discussion staff described wage increases planned across the contract term and referred to an equity adjustment (reported in the meeting as 9% in one exchange, with some numerical clarifications during discussion). Insurance contributions were cited as moving to a 15 percent share for most plan types (previously lower for some plans, with the HMO at 5 percent cited as an exception now shifted). Trustees asked about training certifications, including whether a CDL‑driver‑trainer certification would be included as a path for in‑house training rather than outsourcing.
After trustees' questions were addressed, the board voted in favor of the resolution authorizing the agreement. The resolution was presented as a measure to provide labor stability for the remainder of this year and for an additional three years under the new contract terms.
