Presidio Contract Signed

Tuesday, September 02, 2008

San Francisco - Union Representatives and Presidio Management met this afternoon and jointly signed the first collective Bargaining Agreement for Presidio employees. The three year deal takes effect in 30 days and ends eight years of negotiations between the Union and Management.  Of particular significance to the 180 employees is an agreement that they will be covered by a “just cause” disciplinary standard with binding arbitration to review disputes over the amount of discipline management assesses against an employee.

COLA’s will be in February of each year, 4.35% in 2009, 4.25% in 2010 and 4.25% in 2011.

Business Manager Chris Darker orchestrated the bargaining strategy with the assistance of LIUNA Internation Attorney Bob Purcell.  Bargaining team members Steve Allen (Staff Representative), Norm, Margaret, Sam and Paul carried out the strategy to a successful conclusion.  Congratulations to this new bargaining unit on its first Collective Bargaining Agreement!
