The Vermont AFL-CIO is happy to report that today members of AFSCME Local 3797, Springfield Town Library employees, have ratified a new five year Collective Bargaining Agreement which includes the following improvements
* 18% raises over five years;
* January 1, 2023 (retro) = 4%
* January 1, 2024 = 4%
* January 1, 2025 = 4%
* January 1, 2026 = 3%

* Healthcare opt-out payment increases from $1500 to $2000 a year;
