A vote to ratify the AFSCME Local 1067 Collective Bargaining Agreement for 2024-2027 was held on July 24th, and we are happy to announce that it passed overwhelmingly! The agreement will be signed by BHE & AFSCME reps, then to Governor Healey for her signature, and lastly to the legislature for funding approval and inclusion in the next supplemental budget. We expect the entire process to be completed by this fall so as not to delay our first contractual pay increase in January 2025.
A huge thank you to all the stewards and members who volunteered their time and effort to make this process such a tremendous success!
