YONKERS – The 300 clerical employees of City of Yonkers now have a 10-year contract now that it was approved by the city council.
The pact calls for a 20 percent salary increase over the life of the agreement with Local 704 Service Employees International Union. There will be retroactive payments being paid forward over a four-year period.
Under the agreement, SEIU members will also contribute more to the costs of their employee health care. The annual contribution for members hired before September 1999 will double over the course of the contract. New employees will receive health care coverage after the second full month of employment and will contribute 10 percent of the cost of a family plan and 20 percent for an individual plan.
The contract, which is retroactive to 2009 and will expire in 2018, “works for workers and Yonkers taxpayers,” said Mayor Michael Spano.
