RE: Consideration and approval of a three year collective
bargaining agreement between the Village of Tequesta and the
Communication Workers of America (CWA)
Date - August 10, 2004
The administration (representing the Village of Tequesta) and
representatives of the Communication Workers of America have
completed good faith collective bargaining.
Attached for your consideration is the approval of a three year
collective bargaining agreement. If approved the agreement
will go into effect October 1, 2003.
Communication Workers of America members voted to
approve this agreement with the Village of Tequesta on
September 15, 2003.
I believe this document provides an effective mechanism
allowing for recognition of Village employees. The agreement in
addition reinforces a commitment by the Village to its
employees to provide a positive, constructive, and rewarding
relationship.
I appreciate the continued support of the Council in
acknowledge of all who serve to better our Village.
