Interpreters Say No to Region 3 Offer
|
SACRAMENTO (April 7, 2017) _ Interpreters in Region 3 have resoundingly rejected the Last Best and Final Offer (LBFO) presented at the March 15 bargaining session.
Ninety-six percent of those voting rejected the proposed three-year contract, with 67.5 % of members turning out to vote. Ninety-five percent of the Region’s 88 employees are union members and eligible to vote.
Voting took place at three in-person meetings held after work this week in Kern, Merced and Sacramento counties. Members heard from the bargaining committee and discussed the Region’s offer, weighing the growing pay disparities and proposed concessions in employment rights against the wage offer.
Participation was high and sentiments against proposals to strip away employee rights prevailed, along with a broad consensus that more progress on wages is needed to address fairness and equity issues.
Many thanks to all who were able to come out and vote on these important issues. Your bargaining team will press forward to reach a contract agreement that protects employment security and makes greater progress toward recognizing our value within the court system.

Bargaining Update Reg-2
Region’s Wage Move Not Enough Given Elimination of Pension Benefits
SAN FRANCISCO (Feb. 17, 2017) _ Region 2 moved its wage proposal up to provide a 14% increase over 3 years by implementing a salary range for interpreters. That’s 2% more than their last offer, but the Region still refuses to address the loss of pay interpreters across the region have felt due to the elimination of certain pension benefits paid by the employer. This makes the actual wage improvement for the majority of interpreters in the Region significantly lower.
