Local 501 submitted its initial proposal for a successor MOU on February 27, 2019. Local 501 and the Sanitation District have met and conferred in good faith twelve (12) times since receiving the initial proposal. As of the Board meeting on June 26, 2019, all items proposed, except salary and wages, had either reached tentative agreement or had been withdrawn.
On June 26, 2019, the Board of Directors authorized the Chief Negotiator to make a counter proposal to Local 501 including a three-year contract with a 3.0% salary increase and corresponding range adjustments due in the first pay period in July for each year of the contract, with the first increase to commence on July 5, 2019.
The Sanitation District delivered this counter proposal to Local 501 on July 15, 2019. Local 501's membership ratified the proposal by majority vote on July 24, 2019.
