City Hall Labor Agreement |
| | | | | | | | | BACKGROUND: | The City of Marquette has reached an agreement with the City Hall Employees' Chapter of AFSCME Local #1852. The bargaining unit has ratified the agreement. Their original agreement was effective Oct. 1, 2021 with contractual wage reopeners for 2022 and 2023, terminating Sept. 30, 2024; however, the City's bargaining team and the City Hall unit of AFSCME have agreed on wages effective Oct. 1, 2023 and extending the contract for two years. The main issues discussed were the way holidays are treated for employees on flexible work schedules and wages. The agreed upon wages for the length of the extended contract include increases of 5% for 2023, and 3% for 2024 and 2025.
The City's bargaining team commends the City Hall unit of AFSCME for their willingness to work with us to negotiate an Agreement that is fair to the employees and the City. |
|
| | | | | | | | | FISCAL EFFECT: | For year one, a 5% increase to wages equates to a cost of approximately $67,000. This will require a budget adjustment.
|
|
| | | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION: | | Approve the City Hall Employees' Labor Agreement extension effective October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2026, and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the Agreement. |
|
| | | | | | | | | ALTERNATIVES: | | As determined by the Commission. |
