It may have been hot outside, but we remained calm, cool, and collected at the negotiating table.
We started the day with a financial presentation by Linda Courtright, Chief Financial Officer, detailing the Court’s 24/25 budget. Afterward, we presented the bulk of our remaining proposals, including the following:

• Term – Three years, with an expiration date of September 30, 2027
• Resubmitted a suspension proposal – allowing for an appeal after a two-day suspension
• Proposed additional floating holiday
• Have the Court cover 100% of the cost of dependent coverage for dental and vision insurance
• Have the Court cover 100% of the health insurance premium increases
• Boosting vacation accrual rates and adding more incremental steps to reduce the gaps between years
• A proposal to create a committee to establish an LPC IV classification.
• A Cost of Living Adjustment of 19% over three years.

(Please note that these are PROPOSALS; the court has yet to respond to them)
 
We set our next four dates as September 11, 17, 19, and 25. Please remember to wear purple to show support for your bargaining team.  It means a lot to us to see you purpled up!

Stronger together!
