Court Office-Technical: Bargaining Update - Tentative Agreement Reached

UPE is pleased to announce that your UPE Court Office-Technical Negotiations team reached a tentative agreement on a new 2-year contract with Sacramento Superior Court on October 2, 2024.  Highlights of the new agreement include the following:

• $2000 one-time payment no later than two pay periods after ratification

• 2.5% ongoing salary increase first full pay period after July 1, 2025

• Increase in Court’s subsidy for retiree health care (approximately double current categories)

A complete summary of the tentative agreement will be released soon, along with dates for a membership meeting and a ratification vote. 

These negotiations were challenging.  The Court’s initial proposals were not enough for our members.  Thanks to the support of our members, your Negotiations team was able to hold strong and push the Court to improve their offer.  UPE thanks all our members for their support!

UPE also wishes to thank the members of the Negotiations team for their hard work and representation: Suzette Cade; Andrea Howard; Paul McGee; Lizette Sweezer-Morris; Nancy Wallace; Shawn Boxer; Tammi Boxer; Alison Saltonstall; Elizabeth Teklinsky; Christina Arcuri; and Julie Valdivia.
