Tentative Contracts Include Wage Freeze for Wyandotte Teachers, Secretaries and Maintenance Staff

The unions for Wyandotte Public Schools teachers, secretaries and maintenance staff have agreed to wage freezes and a high-deductible health plan in latest contracts.

 

On Tuesday night the Wyandotte Public Schools Board of Education agreed to tentative contracts with the unions representing its teachers, secretaries and maintenance staff.

Each of the contracts includes a freeze on wages for each of the three groups of district employees involved.

The unions for all three sets of employees also agreed upon a high-deductible, no-cost health benefit plan, with deductibles that will range from $1,000 to $2,000.

For each contract, a wage and benefit re-opener is in place, allowing for future negotiations to set wage and benefit costs for the 2013-15 school years.

Before agreeing to the contracts on Tuesday night, the board briefly stepped into closed session for discussion, then returned and unanimously approved all three.
