DLE contract negotiations

Ha Ha, you will never see that, you will be lucky to get the 3% the county gave the Sheriff for raises. It’s all up to the boss what you will get. How many more Colonels does he need to hire?

Sheriff asked for funding for 3% COLA, but the commission didn’t fund it. He asked for something like a 7.5% budget increase not counting courthouse increased staffing. They gave him only a 5.6% increase, so not funded at 3%. Most of that increase went to hiring new deputies (including new spots in THI and regional motors and ICAC) and 23 new firefighters (!!!). Wish they did fund 3%, but they didn’t. Did any of you read the Sentinel stories about the budget hearings? Sentinel was pretty detailed on what happened.

First, that Aetna rebate will come out to what (I’m guessing here) ... $5 or $10 per employee. Peanuts.

Second, anyone can file grievances .... like anyone can file lawsuits. What counts is winning. How many of the grievances did IUPA win? Few of any I’d guess, or Bell would have been posted here bragging about it.

For a single HMO its about $ 7 bucks a month so about 84.00 bucks for the year. It’s not much but better than an increase.

Any word on negotiations or a date we can attend one? I heard we might be offered 2.5% plus 1% extra in first responder pay.

Just check with the PBA. I hear they are going to get us a 95% raise, free healthcare and new cars every 4,000 miles. They also are going to allow for executive board elections every 3 months. Yeaaaa.
