Board accepts tentative two‑year agreement with Teamsters Local 853 on bonus and benefits
Summary
The board accepted a tentative two‑year agreement with Teamsters Local 853 that provides a one‑time $1,100 off‑schedule bonus (paid in two installments), district pick‑up of employer health costs and reopeners on economic items next year.
The board reviewed and accepted a tentative agreement between the district and Teamsters Local 853 that covers total compensation for the current year. Staff said the deal uses Prop 8 equity adjustments to provide a one‑time off‑schedule $1,100 bonus this year to be paid in two equal installments. The district also agreed to pick up the employer portion of health‑benefit costs for affected members and to reopen economic negotiations in the next cycle.
Staff characterized the agreement as a two‑year term with reopeners on salary and benefits for the following year. The board moved and approved the tentative agreement; there was no public comment on the item.
Board members asked clarifying questions during the presentation and staff confirmed the term and that the employer would absorb the health benefit costs for the term described.
