With over 90% of members voting, 75% of the UPSEU Hewlett-Woodmere members voted to approve a new five year pact on February 1, 2008.
The unit of custodial, grounds, maintenance, technical and food service workers unit will receive annual wage increases, increases to longevity steps, increased benefit plan contributions, improved bereavement leave, additional pay adjustments at each step in two of the four years, additional pay adjustments for certain titles including maintenance personnel, cooks, assistant cooks, and food service annual employees, certification pay and new call-in pay for techs and other improvements.
“While negotiations were difficult, the district certainly recognized the work of these valued employees and in the end agreed to address the issues important to our members,” stated UPSEU President Kevin E. Boyle, Jr.
The negotiating team, led by Chief Steward Fred Vetter, and which included Donovan Berthoud, David Greco, Howard Hewson, Luciano Morello, Eric Scott, Helena Perno and Robert Zimmerman did a great job in delivering a great agreement for their co-workers.
