The EVSC’s negotiation team met for a collective bargaining negotiation session with Teamster’s Local 215. An exchange of ideas took place regarding employee concerns and economics, and the EVSC team remained firm on the two matters of public policy the board needed to have addressed by Local 215:
No employee should be forced to pay a fee for representation or membership to a Union just to have a job with the EVSC.
The School Board will not negotiate away its legal responsibility to make decisions regarding critical financial decisions and who works around our students.
Members of the School Board have no issue with anyone who wants to be a member of any union, but remain unwavering on the two matters of public policy.
The negotiation team will meet with members of the School Board in executive session on Monday, Aug. 31.
This is the eighth negotiation meeting that has taken place with leadership of Teamster’s Local 215. The five Collective Bargaining Agreements for employee groups that were represented by Local 215, expired on June 30.
EVSC employees continue to work for the EVSC, are being paid their wages and are receiving their benefits – and, will soon receive a 2 percent raise, as approved by the EVSC School Board on Aug. 24.
