The IBEW 1245 members at the City of Shasta Lake have approved a new four-year agreement. The unit secured several improvements during bargaining, including two weeks (80 hours) PTO cashout per fiscal year; all overtime at the double-time rate; and a new benefit for prescription safety glasses (clear & dark, one pair each, comparable to the non-prescription safety glasses provided by the City).
We also negotiated language clarifying the process for wage increases, where Redding moves outside of the normal July 1 averaging formula. In the event Redding moves outside of the normal, the City will adjust their rates in the next pay period.
The bargaining committee consisted of members Michael Arey and Ben Fisher, and myself.
