Town-DTEA reach agreement

The Dartmouth Town Employees Association and the town have reached agreement on a contract for FY08 and FY09. Town Meeting must agree to fund the contract terms before it takes effect. It will be voted at the Fall Town Meeting in October. The employees had been without at contract last year and ...

...will receive a settlement for FY08 and an increase for FY09 if the Town Meeting approves. A 2% increase has been set for both years. The contract expires on June 30, 2009 at the same time as most other contracts with other town employees. The town has been working to align the termination of town labor contracts and this is the final piece of that puzzle.

2% seems fine

2%, when added to the increased cost of benefits, probably equals around 5%. That is part of the problem. We never include the added cost of benefits. Then when our poor planning blows up in our face, we call these added costs budget busters.
