The Sisters and Brothers of the LACE (clerical) bargaining unit recently ratified a 3-year contract that included improved wages and conditions. Some members will see a 3% raise across the board each year of the contract and some jobs have been reclassified with significant raises ranging from 21% to 35% over 3 years! this is in return for cross training, mandatory overtime, increased duties and change in schedules. The contract is retroactive to July 1, 2022 and Retroactive wage increases will vary by each member. Historically, the City has failed to offer a fair wage at bargaining, generally, anywhere from 1%-2% a year. This time was no easy task either and after nearly 10 months of bargaining and standing firm, we were able to improve wages for our members. We am very proud of our members, congratulations to all !

After negotiating for over a year, SEIU Local 3 members at The Newbury Boston Hotel just ratified a four-year deal with 5% raises each year. All raises are retroactive to the expiration of our last agreement (February 1, 2022), so our members will immediately see a 10% pay bump and a large retro check consisting a full pay-out of the difference between the money our members made since the contract expired and what they would have made if the raise had gone into effect on the date of the last contract's expiration! Management wanted us to forgo our retro pay, but we said, "that's our money!" These raises would not have been possible but for the militant actions our members took at the workplace including button-ups, delegations (where our team shows up together at the General Manager's office to discuss issues with negotiations), and preparations for public-facing actions!
