Raises for state workers: Maintenance union, psychiatric techs make deals
Gov. Jerry Brown’s administration is tying up a glut of expired labor contracts as the year draws to a close.
Aside from reaching a tentative deal with the state’s biggest union, SEIU Local 1000, earlier this month, Brown’s team has struck tentative agreements with a union that represents 12,000 maintenance workers and another that advocates for 6,000 psychiatric technicians.
If all of the contracts are ratified by members and approved by the Legislature, the state would have just two outdated labor deals. That’s down from a peak of 14 that expired on July 1.
One new deal announced this week would give a 14 percent raise over three years to the maintenance workers and electricians in International Union of Operating Engineers.
