Sacramento County AFSCME Workers Find Contract Accord
The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 146, which represents about 550 Sacramento County health workers, has voted to approve a contract that would defer a scheduled pay raise for two years in exchange for up to 30 hours of paid time off across each 12-month period. The contract -- which the board of supervisors is slated to discuss on Tuesday -- would save about $1.85 million in the current fiscal year, as well as the next, and would last until June 30, 2012.
