McLeod County approves two union contracts
May 7, 2008 - 12:20pm — Jorge Sosa
McLeod County has reached contract agreements with two of its employee unions — the Teamsters Highway and Teamsters Clerical workers. The County Board voted unanimously to ratify the contracts for both, effective Dec. 23, 2007, to Dec. 18, 2010. A summary provided by County Auditor Cindy Schultz notes the contracts include: “I’m very pleased with the negotiations,” said Leland Johnson, a business agent with the Teamsters union Local 320. “They county took some positive steps to help with retention and keep McLeod County from being more than a training ground.” The county has long had a problem keeping some experienced employees, who often leave for higher-paying jobs in neighboring counties. “They did move some of the lower-paid wages up higher … and the movement in the health-care contribution was critical,” Johnson said.
