Updated: Mar 16, 2024

JERSEY CITY, NJ (GovWire) - According to the document: Jersey City has reached a proposed agreement with Teamsters Local 621 after several months of negotiations. The agreement, which was presented by Speaker 25 during the recent Jersey City Municipal Caucus Meeting, would become effective retroactive to January 1st, 2022, and would remain in effect until December 31st, 2025.


Speaker 25 highlighted some of the items in the agreement, including the salary, which is probably the most relevant portion of the discussion. The unions have agreed to accept a 0% raise on January 1st, 2022, based on discussions on where the city was with its finances. In return, the city has offered a $2500 off-base payment, which does not go into the base and is significant for amortization purposes. The actual raise for January 1st, 2023, would then be 4.3%.


This agreement is an important step towards improving the relationship between the city and Teamsters Local 621, and providing better working conditions for the employees in that union.
