YONKERS — The union representing 1,800 non-teaching school district employees will vote on a new contract on Tuesday, its leader announced today.
The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees released a statement this afternoon noting that members of the CSEA Yonkers School District Unit 9169 will receive a proposed memorandum of agreement at the Tuesday ratification vote at 6 p.m. in Lincoln High School.
Details of the contract will be released after the vote.
The union has been working without a contract since June 30.
In December, the union local’s president, Bobbie DiBattista, said that the main disagreement between the school district and the union was the payment for medical benefits. At the time, DiBattista argued that the it was unfair to make union members pay for their medical benefits when their average
salary was $25,000 a year.
A mediator began working on impasse between the union and the school earlier this year.
