Contract Negotiations Update
March 2, 2010

Your bargaining committee has just completed the latest contract negotiating session with representatives of the Trial Court. We are hopeful and optimistic that negotiations will yield contracts covering us from July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2012.

We presented two contracts to the Trial Court today; contract one covers FY 2008 and 2009 (July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2009); contract two covers FY 2010, 2011 and 2012 (July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2012). The details are as follows:

CONTRACT ONE
July 1, 2007-June 30, 2009

  • 3% increase retroactive to July 1, 2007
  • Eighth step for those classifications that now have only seven steps
  • Re-opener for second year

CONTRACT TWO
July 1, 2009-June 30, 2012

  • 1% increase on June 30, 2010
  • 3% increase on June 30, 2011
  • 3% increase on June 30, 2012
  • Potential to move dates for these increases to three or six months earlier in each year if state revenues reach certain targets
