Teamsters Local 700 Secures New Contracts for Hundreds of Members

Teamsters Local 700 representatives and officials work tirelessly to secure the best benefits and wages for members. Below are a few of the most recent contract ratifications.

Mundelein Park and Recreation District
Full-time employees will see a 2.7 percent wage increase as well as 100 percent coverage for boot purchases.

Seasonal employees will be paid eight hours holiday pay and time-and-a-half for all hours actually worked. Seasonal workers will also be provided with six pairs of work pants each year at no cost. Seasonal workers who are sent home at the start of their shift due of weather will receive compensation for at least one hour of pay.

Local 700 will have both English and Spanish versions of this contract.

Village of Peotone
Members saw several new incentives with this new contract including eight hours of compensatory time for anyone who does not use any sick time for a whole year, an educational incentive of $750 for Associates Degree and $1,250 for Bachelor’s Degree and a physical fitness incentive of $500 annually.

All members will see an annual wage and step increase for the two-year term of the contract. Work schedules will also be posted 30 days in advance.

Hoffman Estates Public Works
Members will see three wages for the remaining two years of the contract. Effective Dec. 31, 2011; Jan 1, 2012 and July 1, 2012, members will see 1 percent, 2 percent and 1 percent raises, respectively.

“Me too” language was added to the Voluntary Separation Package, assuming any other bargaining group obtains it. This language means in any other bargaining unit receives additional benefits, Local 700 members will automatically get those benefits too.
