In Cayuga County, solidarity secures new contract
Solidarity secures new contract in Cayuga County
AUBURN — Cayuga County Employees Unit members recently mobilized and showed their solidarity to successfully secure a new contract that has the potential to reignite an energy within the workforce that’s been missing for years.
The unit’s new contract includes unprecedented wage increases, more health insurance plan options and binding arbitration.
“It’s the best contract we’ve gotten in a few negotiation cycles and certainly the best that I remember,” said Cayuga County Employees Unit President Bob Janas.
