In October, the Administration announced agreements with the
International Union of Operating Engineers, the United Association
of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipefitting
Industry, and the International Association of Machinist and
Aerospace Workers. These agreements have now been ratified. Over the
summer, the Administration reached collective bargaining agreements
with 5 different bargaining units represented by the International
Brotherhood of Teamsters, all of which have also been ratified.

Altogether, the Governor has now successfully negotiated new collective
bargaining agreements with 17 different bargaining units representing more than
5,000 state employees. These developments stand in stark contrast to the ongoing
negotiations with AFSCME Council 31. Despite being offered substantially the
same material terms as the Teamsters and the Trades, AFSCME has to date rejected
the Governor’s chief proposals.
