The Berrien County Board of Commissioners on May 7 unanimously adopted a resolution acknowledging a labor agreement between the Berrien County Trial Court—amily Division and AFSCME Council 25, Local 2757. The resolution, read by Commissioner Robert Harrison, records that the union ratified the agreement and that the Family Division judges reviewed and approved its provisions.
The resolution states the contract term runs March 1, 2026, through December 31, 2028, and that Berrien County is the funding unit for the court. Commissioner Harrison moved the resolution and Commissioner Julie Wuerfel seconded; a roll call vote recorded 11 yeas and no nays. The board took no other formal action on the contract at the meeting.
The action was procedural recognition by the board rather than a contract signing recorded in these minutes; the resolution text says the judges and the union have already approved the terms. The board's recorded vote and the effective contract dates provide public clarity about the timeframe covered by the agreement.
