Upper St. Clair, Support Staff Reach New Contract Agreement
The two-year pact runs through August 2020.
UPPER ST. CLAIR, PA - The Upper St. Clair School District has reached a two-year contract agreement representing more than 160 workers including custodians, maintenance, mechanics, teacher aides, secretaries and nutrition center staff. The agreement with the Upper St. Clair Special Services Federation, effective September 2018, runs through August 2020.
The new contract represents a wage increase of approximately three percent in salaries, offset by an increase in contributions to health care premiums.
“The wage increases in this extension are well-deserved,” superintendent Patrick O'Toole said in a statement. “The critical work these employees engage in each day ultimately results in staff and student success.”
Federation President Andy Ruffalo attributed the successful agreement to a healthy working relationship between the union and district.
“Both the federation and the district were committed to reaching a fair contract. We did just that and our members voted overwhelmingly to accept the new contract,” he said. “This new two-year agreement continues the solid labor management relationship we have with the district."
