A long and frustrating negotiations recently came to closure with a new 4 year agreement affecting Commack CGM members. The vote was 68 to 16 in favor of the agreement. Improved annual wage increases, increased longevity and improved shift differential were among the highlights. A central issue concerning split school assignments and transportation issues related thereto was resolved, with seniority language, limitations on the number of empoloyees who can be assigned, and an inclusion of IRS mileage rate reimbursement.
UPSEU President Kevin E. Boyle, Jr. commended the leadership of Unit Officers Louis Bass and Todd Raplee along with negotiating team members Edward Storck, Frank Pagnotta, Mark Zumpol, James Diluggo, Glen Robitaille, and Matthew Burke for their outstanding work throughout the process.
