Members of Local 222-21 Gain Wage Increases and Better Benefits in Two New Contracts

May 11, 2024

After three days of negotiations, the members of Local 222 Sublocal 21 who work as support staff and supervisors for the Trumbull Board of Education bargained and ratified two new contracts. The members won 2.75 percent wage increases each year of the three-year contracts. The workers were also able to negotiate with the company to have their insurance premiums increase only half a percent each year for the life of the contract, totaling only 1.5 percent, and won a matching increase of 0.5 percent to their 401(k) benefits.

The Local 222-21 bargaining committee consisted of Jeffery VanSteenburgh and Michele Mirmina. They were assisted by Field Organizer Sherry Bryant.
