Wright County approves 2026–2028 labor contracts; Teamsters agreement passes with two abstentions
Summary
The board approved collective bargaining agreements covering courthouse employees (Teamsters) and AFSCME for 2026–2028; the Teamsters contract passed 3–0 with two abstentions and the AFSCME agreement was approved contingent on final wording changes to Paragraph 24.3.
Wright County commissioners approved two collective bargaining agreements covering county employees during the Jan. 6 meeting.
The board approved the 2026–2028 Collective Bargaining Agreement with the Minnesota Teamsters Public and Law Enforcement Employees' Union, Local No. 320 (Courthouse Employees' Unit). The minutes record the vote as three ayes and two abstentions (Commissioners Tina Diedrick and Jeanne Holland abstained).
The board also approved the 2026–2028 agreement with the American Federation of State, County, & Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Council No. 65, Local No. 2685. County Administrator Greg Kryzer explained that final passage was contingent on the County Administrator and the county labor attorney reaching agreement with the union on amendments to Paragraph 24.3; the motion to approve with that amendment passed.
The agreements cover a multi-year period; the minutes do not specify the contract financial terms or wage schedules in detail. The board authorized signatures to finalize the Teamsters agreement and the AFSCME agreement once the stated amendment is resolved.
