Hampton Public Work Employees and Hampton Town Employees WIN!
The proposed contracts HAVE BEEN FUNDED addressing the concerns about frozen step raises, widespread vacancies, and retention issues. The tentative 3-year contract will deliver approximately 15.5% in wage increases over the three-year period. This community has come together and to pave the way for a more stable and overall prosperous future for Hampton and its’ employees!
A special thanks to our chapter president, Beth Frongillo, without whom none of this would have been possible!! Congratulations!
” We chose SEA/SEIU 1984 because we believe in the organization. I think working with them is going to better the town employees tremendously. From day one, we’ve received so much more support than we have ever had before, and we’ve secured the best contract we’ve ever reached for this group and the town and so we’re really excited!”
Beth Frongillo, Chapter President
Featured here are some of the wins you’ve won as engaged members of the State Employees’ Association!
Bedford Police Reach Contract Deal!
Bedford Police Union achieved 100% membership during this contract campaign. Negotiations and Mediation were unsuccessful in getting to an agreement. Members were called to action and a campaign rally was held. The chapter spent their own funds on shirts and a committee helped to make signs for the rally. Nearly 50 members turned out for the rally including members from other SEA and Town of Bedford bargaining units. Several citizens spoke to the Town Council in favor of police employees receiving a fair contract. Less than 24 hours later an offer was received that increased wages that also addressed important conditions of employment. Membership voted to accept the offer by an overwhelming majority. The 3-year agreement increases wages by an average of 16% over the life of the contract.
