Hempstead School District Members Unanimously Approve Agreement
Updated On: Jul 02, 2014
UPSEU Custodial, Grounds and Maintenance members unanimously approved a new 5 year agreement that will provide on time steps and annual wage increases. This 70 member unit will see improvements in shoe allowance, with all custodial employees previously excluded, now being provided an annual allowance, premium pay for snow removal, and numerous other improvements. A significant issue for this unit was health coverage and the district’s demand for increased healthcare cost sharing. The agreement will maintain health coverage with no cost sharing increase. UPSEU President Kevin E. Boyle, Jr. praised the team for their great work throughout the long negotiation process. The team was led by Chief Steward Seth King and included Aloysius Elvin and Timothy Gregg who served on the team throughout negotiations. David DeValle and Curtis Hewitt, who both recently retired, were instrumental throughout the negotiations and did a great job, as well. President Boyle commended Labor Relations Representative Brian Honahan who was part of the process throughout and who provided valuable assistance.
