A new four year agreement for UPSEU's Three Village CSD Maintenance and Operations Unit was overwhelmingly approved by unit members.

On time step movement, top of schedule pay adjustments and a new longevity level implemented over the life of the agreement highlighted the pact. Improvements in bereavement, benefit fund contributions, snow removal pay and sick leave payout were included in the agreement as well. Health coverage, an issue during the negotiations, was increased by one percent over the term.

UPSEU President Kevin Boyle commended the negotiating team led by Chief Steward Mike Bartell and committee members Charlie Murray, Steve Cordovano, David Luhrs, Rob Moretti, and Larry Aupperlee for their outstanding efforts throughout the difficult bargaining process.
