Brightening union blues by Josh Mahan, Missoula Independent, MT
Two Missoula unions walked away from negotiating tables recently with one thing in common: satisfaction with their new contracts.
“It’s fair and a good agreement,” said Dennis Daneke of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters. “I credit our contractors for sitting down and doing business with us in a fair and open way.”
Daneke was pleased that contractors will continue to provide health insurance, even as prices skyrocket.
“They came to the plate, ponied up, and helped us out,” said Daneke.
Members of Local #28 in Missoula and Kalispell ratified the contract with 89 percent voting in favor of the new agreement, which will affect 27 employers and almost 300 skilled-trade workers. The contract includes a 7.2 percent wage and benefit increase over two years, which will bring carpenter wages up to $18.70 per hour and millwright wages up to $20.30. Both will receive benefits that work out to $6.80 per hour, as well.------------------------------------------- posted 6:32 AM :: reference link ::
