The Village of Castleton-on Hudson and the United Public Service Employees Union membership reached a three year agreement. Leading the negotiations was Executive Vice President/Regional Director Gary M. Hickey along with Labor Relations Representative Michael Kutski. UPSEU members David Sager and John Shortsleeve served as representatives for the membership.

Through these hard economic times, negotiating was very challenging. The Village however, was willing to work with the membership and navigate the hurdles and obstacles faced throughout negotiations. In the end, both the membership and the Village were pleased with the results.

The negotiating team did a great job of achieving gains with no givebacks. They have years of service as well as expertise that keep the Village and the membership moving toward the future. Congratulations to all that helped in bringing this deal together.
