Summary

JEA presented four collective bargaining agreements covering PEA, IBEW, AFSCME and JSA with multi-year wage schedules; the Rules Committee approved the resolutions and staff said the agreements go to full council on Jan. 13 for final action.

The committee approved four collective bargaining agreements presented by Diane Moser, JEA chief human resources officer, covering PEA, IBEW Local 2358, AFSCME Local 429 and the JEA Supervisors Association (JSA).

Moser explained JEA has five unions representing 78% of the workforce and summarized membership counts. She said the agreements are three-year terms beginning Oct. 1, 2025, through Sept. 30, 2028, and listed general wage increases (examples: IBEW/AFSCME/JSA—4% effective 10/01/2025, 3.5% 10/01/2026, 3% 10/01/2027; PEA—1.5% general increases plus up to a 2.5% performance-pay pool).
