Warren County approves contract with Teamsters Local 238; jailers shift schedule adjusted
Summary
The board approved a collective bargaining agreement with Teamsters Local 238 and two MOUs addressing a new jail sergeant position and jailer shift/overtime rules (12-hour shifts with modified overtime triggers).
County staff (identified as Kelly in the record) told the board that negotiations with Teamsters Local 238 were completed and presented a new contract along with two memoranda of understanding. Key changes include recognition of a newly created jail sergeant position and a shift-schedule change for jailers from shorter shifts to 12-hour shifts, with overtime paid only when an employee works more than 12 hours in a shift or exceeds 80 hours in a two-week period.
Kelly described a scheduling chart and explained that while jailers are scheduled 84 hours across two weeks, the MOU requires taking off four hours in the pay period so overtime thresholds align at 80 hours; the aim is to reduce routine overtime. Supervisors moved to approve the agreement and the MOUs; the motion passed on roll call.
Board members framed the agreement as fiscally responsible and beneficial for overtime control while recognizing employees' scheduling concerns.
