BUTTE COLLEGE POLICE NEGOTIATE PAY INCREASE

Wednesday, September 01, 2010

Butte College POA President Doug Sloan and UPEC negotiator Steve Allen, recently concluded negotiations with the Butte-Glenn Community College District.  This is one of our Local’s smallest bargaining unit of 2 Police Officers and one Sergeant.

Evidence that the downturn in the economy is a hit and miss proposition depending on each agency’s circumstances, this Community College District was able to grant a 5% pay increase and also pick up the entire 9% increase in health insurance. This result is due to tying salary to any increases granted teachers. For this year, the 20 district survey conducted by the College District for teachers resulted in the 5% increase for Officers.

In addition, the POA will begin representing Community Service Officers.
