On Friday March 15 our bargaining team again met with the CMO. At their request, the CMO presented a package proposal (can only be accepted or rejected as a whole) of what they believed would settle all issues for a final contract.
This proposal included a series of raises that would get all HTH employees to at least $20 per hour by July 1, 2025. Raises would be implemented as follows: Retroactive to July 1, 2023 (with full back pay) Hourly Members: 7.4% to 16.6%, with a minimum wage of $17.50 per hour Salaried Members: 7.4% Effective July 1, 2024 Hourly Members: 7.1% increase, with a minimum wage of $18.75 per hour Salaried Members: 6.7% increase Effective July 1, 2025 Hourly Members: 6.6% increase, with a minimum wage of $20 per hour Salaried Members: 6.3% increase In total, salaried members would receive substantial back pay and a total compounded pay increase of 21.8% phased in over the next 15 months. Hourly employees would see between a 22.7% and 32.9% increase over that same period. The proposal would also provide salary placement credit for all years of experience prior to being employed at HTH and credit for each year of service at HTH, meaning that some members may qualify for a higher placement than what they’re currently receiving. Despite this significant move in the right direction when it comes to pay, the proposal contained multiple sections that cause concern for our bargaining team. This includes:
While we are significantly closer to a finalized contract that can be presented to members for ratification, these outstanding issues must be addressed before we can sign a tentative agreement. We hope to have another bargaining date scheduled in April just after spring break.
