City of Springfield workers who are represented by SEIU Local 503 have won a big advance in union bargaining. Their contract was opened last year and after very difficult bargaining, the union bargaining team signed a one year contract and returned to the table this year with the goal of winning a cost of living adjustment. They did that and more. This is the first time they have settled their contract without needing to go to mediation. Highlights of the 3 year tentative agreement include:
Wages
Year 1: Implementation of Class and Comp Study
Year 2: 1-1/2% COLA
Year 3: 1-1/2% to 3% COLA based on CPI
1 additional floating holiday in first year
Health Insurance: status quo on premium share with increases in employer contribution to employee HSA accounts
Language improvements on filling of vacancies; work out of class; creation of joint Labor-Management Committee
