Negotiating Team, Subcommittee Formed for Lake County Sheriff's Department
Contract negotiations are already in the beginning stages for Lake County Sheriff's Department employees, who voted overwhelmingly in December 2010 to join Teamsters Local 700.
"We're a no-nonsense local," said John T. Coli, Local 700 Trustee. "When a group of individuals comes together and votes to join the Teamsters, we waste no time in getting started on their first contract."
Nine newly elected union stewards will make up the negotiating team. Many other members expressed interest in helping with negotiations and those members have been selected for a negotiating subcommittee.
"The enthusiasm and interest of these new members in their first contract is through the roof," said William P. Logan, Local 700 Assistant Trustee. "The only thing that's better than a new bargaining unit is one that is made up of members who are eager to collaborate."
Members are encouraged to submit demands for the negotiating team to consider for the first contract proposal. The deadline to send ideas is March 25 and they can be given to stewards.
"Especially for those employees who consistently have been disappointed with something at the workplace, this is the best opportunity to try and improve conditions," said Becky Strzechowski, Local 700 Assistant Trustee. "The more ideas members submit, the more comprehensive proposal we can bring to the table."
