Kincaid approves Teamsters contract covering public works through April 2028
Summary
The board approved a contract with Teamsters Local 916 that adds paid-leave language consistent with the Illinois Paid Leave Act, a $200 boot allowance, a $500 sign-on bonus, and changes to callback and wage items; the contract runs through April 2028.
Representing Teamsters Local 916, John Berry reviewed the proposed collective bargaining agreement for village public works employees. Key contract provisions discussed included compliance with the Illinois Paid Leave Act (allowing the 40-hour allotment to be used in two-hour increments), a $200 allowance for steel-toed boots, a $500 sign-on bonus, and adjustments to callback pay. Berry clarified that the paid leave language does not add hours beyond current personal/sick time but allows the statutory 40 hours to be used in shorter increments.
After trustees asked clarifying questions about sick leave, carryover and dues deduction language, Trustee Nelson moved to approve the contract, Trustee Paso seconded, and the board voted all ayes to adopt the contract effective through April 2028.
