Pinckneyville council approves collective bargaining agreement with Laborers’ Local 773 over one dissent
Summary
The Pinckneyville City Council voted to ratify a collective bargaining agreement with the Laborers’ International Union (Local 773) on Aug. 26, 2024, with Commissioner Kevin B. Hicks the sole no vote; the resolution (R-2024-38) was placed on the record and approved.
The Pinckneyville City Council voted to enter into a collective bargaining agreement with the Laborers’ International Union of North America, the Downstate Laborers’ District Council, and Laborers’ Local 773 during its Aug. 26 meeting.
Mayor Robert L. Spencer introduced Resolution No. R-2024-38 and Commissioner Joshua L. Kuhnert moved its approval; Commissioner William B. Stotlar seconded. On roll call Commissioners Kuhnert, Peradotta, Stotlar and Mayor Spencer voted YEA and Commissioner Kevin B. Hicks voted NAY, and the motion carried.
The council placed the resolution on file at the Aug. 12 meeting before taking the final vote on Aug. 26. The transcript logs the adoption but does not include the contract’s text or specific economic terms, so details such as wage scales, duration, or benefit changes were not provided in the meeting record.
Because the contract was approved by roll call, the council’s action is a formal city commitment; the resolution’s effective date and any implementation steps were not specified in the record and thus are not reported here.
The council adjourned to executive session later in the evening for separate personnel and property discussions and returned to the regular meeting at 7:10 p.m.
