Contract Settlement with $15 Per Hour Raise Over 3 Years:

The 2nd Highest in Local 332’s History

Our inside contract, effective June 1, 2021–May 31, 2024, was ratified by the membership by a vote of 759 to 383, or 66% to 34%. It was the largest participation 332 has ever had voting on a contract, because we did it online. For full details of the three-year agreement, click here.

The highlight is the $15 wage increase over three years. This was the second largest increase in the local’s history, and a win given the pandemic and shift away from constructing new office buildings. The allocation is as follows:

Effective June 1, 2021: $5.00 total allocated by member vote: $3.65 to wages, $1 to pension part B, and $.35 to our health insurance plans.
Effective June 1, 2022: $5.00 total allocated by member vote in 2022.
Effective June 1, 2023: $5.00 total allocated by member vote in 2023.

Other Contract Highlights Include the Strengthening of Important Language to Protect Our Work

Stronger Reverse Book Layoff Language: Supervisory capacity shall be defined as having a minimum of three workers under their direct supervision, unless only one supervisor is present on the project. This means that someone can’t simply be called a foreman. They must be working in a supervisor capacity.

Expanded Overtime: To compensate members for time away from your families, all Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays shall be paid at double (2x) the rate of pay instead of just time and a half on Saturdays.

Updated Tool List: For the duration of the agreement, the value of the tool list shall be assessed at $850.00, including tax. The tool list replacement value will be re-evaluated prior to all future contracts. The list for reimbursements has been modernized, which was long overdue.

Paid Parking: Parking reimbursement will move from a six block radius to an eight block radius. The quarter mile rule is still in effect and is unchanged.
