Council approves three-year AFSCME agreement with 3% annual raises
Summary
The council adopted Resolution 2025-16, approving a three-year bargaining agreement with AFSCME Minnesota Council 5 that includes 3% wage increases each year and several contract language changes including sick-and-safe leave; the vote was recorded as carried.
The council voted to adopt Resolution 2025-16, approving a three-year bargaining agreement between the city and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Minnesota Council 5. A staff member explained the resolution lists eight contract changes and that two of those (holiday language and sick-leave language previously agreed via memoranda) had been addressed during the prior contract cycle.
The staff member told the council the new contract adds sick-and-safe leave language that was not in the three-year agreement approved previously and that the central economic term in the current agreement is a 3% wage increase each year for three years. A council member asked what the prior settlement pattern had been, and the staff member said the prior agreement was structured as 8%, 4% and 3% over its three years.
A council member moved to adopt Resolution 2025-16; another seconded the motion. The council approved the resolution by voice vote and the motion carried. The meeting record does not show a roll-call tally by name.
