“People with fixed incomes have no breathing room,” said resident John Sluca, opining that the township’s large senior citizen community may find it difficult to afford as potential property tax increase to support the higher salaries. The vote drew one comment during the lightly-attended council meeting. While larger than wage increases seen in previous contracts, the raises are generally in line with those negotiated by public employee unions in neighboring communities. The Teamsters unit representing crossing guards agreed to have their holidays match those of the school district, as well as a modified schedule after the third year. The TWU also agreed to cap out-of-network chiropractic costs and waive the stipend, as did the Teamsters unit representing supervisors. The PBA agreed to cap comp time, cap out of network chiropractic costs and agreed to waive the $4,000 stipend for those who do not participate in the health benefits plan. The negotiations also produced some changes in contractual language. (Year one: 6 percent Year two: 6 percent Year three: 5 percent Year four: 5 percent.) Teamsters/Supervisors: Total 22 percent increase.(Year one: 5 percent Year two: 5 percent Year three: 4 percent Year four: 4 percent.) Teamsters/Crossing Guards: Total 18 percent increase.(Year one: 6 percent Year two: 6 percent Year three: 6 percent Year four: 4 percent.)
Transport Workers Union: Total 22 percent increase.
