Campbell reaches agreements with two of its unions

CAMPBELL — The city has settled two contracts with its unions, and council is expected to pass one of them at its meeting Wednesday night.

American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 759, which includes five street department workers and 10 water plant workers, recently ratified a contract, said Mayor Bill VanSuch.

The contract includes no raises. The union had wanted a shift differential, but did not get it, he said.

He said the only difference in the new contract is a trade from allowing workers a day off after Easter to a day off after Thanksgiving.

Street department employees make $15.04 to $16.09 an hour, VanSuch said.

VanSuch also said firefighters have ratified their three-year contract with the city, but legislation to approve it won’t be introduced until council’s April 20 meeting.
