Board of Education contract with AFSCME ratified, council advances approval
Summary
Council advanced a four-year collective-bargaining agreement between the Board of Education and AFSCME (local 287) that the union ratified and that the contract describes pay increases in the transcript as 2.5% in year 1 and 3.5% in subsequent years.
Speaker 10 (Committee member) presented a four-year collective-bargaining agreement between the Board of Education and AFSCME Council 4 (local 287), telling the council the union membership ratified the agreement and that it "provides pay increases of 2.5% in year 1, 3.5% for each of the remaining years," as stated in the spoken record. The presentation said the contract will yield cost savings in pension and medical benefits and advance board goals for school operations.
The presiding officer (Speaker 3) called for discussion; none was recorded in the transcript, and the council called the vote with members saying 'aye.' The transcript indicates the motion to approve passed by voice vote. The staff presentation did not include detailed fiscal exhibits in the spoken segments; the transcript notes that the contract was ratified by union members and recommended for board approval.
