Cold Spring Harbor Clerical Members Overwhelmingly Approve New 5 Year Agreement

A five year agreement retroactive to July 1, 2007 will provide Clerical Unit members with above average annual increases, increased starting pay, annual increases in longevity, improved dental and increased vision contributions during the term of the agreement.  Part time employees will as well receive an additional holiday in the second year of the agreement.

"A significant issue in the negotiations, a district demand for increased employee health contributions was withdrawn by the district, which enabled the agreement to be finalized," stated UPSEU President Kevin E. Boyle, Jr.

President Boyle commended the bargaining team led by UPSEU Chief Unit Officer Jean Gallagher, and which included Susan Frey and Annette Di Pietro.  UPSEU's Amanda Barker also provided assistance throughout the negotiations.
