York County Commissioners on Wednesday approved a new union contract with 36 employees of the York County Youth Development Center.
The previous contract expired Dec. 31, 2010. Pay increases will be given retroactively, with 2 percent for 2011, 2.25 percent in 2012, 2.5 percent in 2013, and 2.75 percent in 2014, said Kristy Bixler, the county’s director of human resources.
Teamsters Local 776 has voted and ratified the contract, said Fred Wilson, president. He said the contract calls for a “minimal” increase in health insurance contributions, but employees are happy with it.
“We know times are a little tough right now,” he said. “We’d always like better, but there’s also reality.”
