SEIU Labor Negotiations Summary

CORRECTED POSTING:  County and SEIU representatives met on May 30^th for the parties’ 11^thbargaining session.  

The County initiated discussions by submitting a revised proposal that included an enhanced dental benefit.  The County’s current economic proposals provide for a 2% one-time payment, maintenance of the County’s medical plan benefit for the term of the extension, removing the tie to the unrepresented management group for the retiree health benefit, reduced dental premiums, and a floating eight hour holiday.
