ANDERSON The city of Anderson has reached a one-year contract agreement with two unions that will provide a 1% pay increase in 2021.
The Anderson Board of Public Works on Wednesday approved contracts with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 1913 and Local 108 of the Utility Workers of America.
The new contracts will take effect Jan. 1 and run through Dec. 31, 2021.
Tom Brown, director of human resources, explained the contract provides for a 1% pay increase for 2021 base pay. That pay raise was approved earlier this year for all non-union city employees and elected officials.
Brown said there were no changes to the contract.
The staff at Lincoln’s Logan Correctional Center felt down last week when they learned Gov. JB Pritzker was imposing a state government hiring freeze and looking into potential furloughs of state workers and other “personnel cost adjustments.”
“The reaction is there is underappreciation for what our staff is subjected to,” said Shaun Dawson, a correctional sergeant at the women’s prison and president of the prison’s 700-member American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 2073.
The governor said in a news conference Dec. 15 that he would institute $711 million in cuts to the current fiscal 2021 budget, including a potential $75 million in worker furloughs and other personnel cost adjustments that would need to be negotiated with unions.
