Retention/Progression Increases
Strengthened language around discrimination
Added Juneteenth as a holiday (June 19th)
Added telework options
Increased options other than leave in Suspended Operations

Congratulations again on your win.
We Have a Tentative Agreement for a 2023-2025 Contract!
Voting will be open 05/17/2023 to 5/22/2023! Scroll down for voting instructions.
Your SPSCC Bargaining Team recommends that members vote to accept the tentative agreement.
Some highlights in compensation are maintaining the Leg-approved COLA of 4% July 1st 2023 and 3% July 1st 2024. We also maintained the year-end award-Five of operating budget close and added a Retention/Progression Increase which is retroactive as of July 1st. For example, those with 3 years will receive $1250 added to your base pay; those with 5 years will receive $1250 (plus the 3 year $1250 for a total of $2500 to base pay) those with 8 years will receive $1250 (plus the 3 and 5 year increase for a total of $3750). Because this is for the life of the contract you could reach another progression date and receive an additional $1250 i.e. a 4 year employee reaches their 5 year anniversary in late 2024.
We also strengthened language surrounding discrimination, added Juneteenth, added an additional personal leave day. We increased options other than leave in Suspended Operations as well as added telework to the Commute Trip Reduction & Parking Article. We added stronger language regarding Reasonable Accommodations and Disability Separations to ensure responses in a timely manner and in writing.
Your bargaining team recommends a yes vote and please see attached for more detailed information.
