On May 14, 2025, your 005 bargaining team met with the County for our next contract negotiations session. The county finally came back with some responses for us. They provided a counter proposal on standby assignments and callback compensation, parental leave, and, most importantly, salary increases. Though disappointing, they made a slight movement. The County proposed 2.7% in year 1, 2-4% in year 2, and 2-4% in year 3. We will continue to push for a fair and equitable number, as this is still not considered an “increase.” At most, it is a cost-of-living adjustment.
Our next bargaining session is set for May 21, 2025. Please wear RED to support your team while they are in session.
