City says Local 466 will require intensive impact bargaining as Baker Tilly plan moves to implementation

Common Council of the City of Middletown · May 26, 2026

Summary

Staff told the council UPSU has been closely involved and is less of a concern, but Local 466—with many job descriptions and members—will require lengthy department‑by‑department meetings for impact bargaining before any new pay plan can be implemented.

Deputy general counsel Corey Wisniewski and HR staff told the council the union engagement piece will be a major element of implementation.

"Justin worked quite closely with UPSU. So that union is less of a concern. 4‑66 is going to be a heavy lift," Wisniewski said, explaining the city has not yet sat down in detail with Local 466 to resolve job‑description issues and expects long meetings involving managers, supervisors and union leadership.

Staff proposed a department‑by‑department approach so managers who know specific positions can participate in impact bargaining, with changes brought back to the council after negotiated impacts are identified.
