Members of the Durham School Services Mechanics labor contract voted to support a tentative agreement between Management and the Union.
The agreement offers a 3% wage increase each year of the agreement to include retroactive pay to August 1, 2009.
Plus the agreement offers 3 out of the 7 workers to be promoted to a higher classification. Which means these workers will get about a 10% total increase.
Along with the wage and promotion increases - the Mechanics now get a tool allowance and a boot allowance plus much more in the contract.
The members and officers of Local 1395 would like to congratulate these hard working mechanics and look forward to much success in the future.
Special thanks goes out to Steven Price who represented the workers at the negotiations table.
