Board approves MOU with Teamsters to create T-5 salary grade for Driver I positions
Summary
To address minimum-wage increases and recruitment challenges, the board approved a Memorandum of Understanding with Teamsters Local 214 to adopt a T-5 salary grade/schedule for Driver I positions.
Saginaw County commissioners on Feb. 17 approved a Memorandum of Understanding with Teamsters State County and Municipal Workers Local 214 to adopt a T-5 salary grade and schedule for the Driver I classification, addressing the Jan. 1, 2026 Michigan minimum wage increase and recruitment challenges.
Labor Relations materials said the T-4 salary grade for some Commission on Aging and Health Department employees fell below the state minimum as of Jan. 1, 2026. The county and union agreed to adopt a T-5 grade for Driver I positions to bring pay into alignment with the law and market conditions; the MOU states the change is binding for the parties and not precedent-setting for other classifications.
The MOU was presented by county civil/labor counsel and approved by the Labor Relations Committee before full board action. The board adopted the MOU during the Feb. 17 session.
