CONTRACT
“As soon as we signed the contract we got a 3 percent pay increase from the last year,” said Joe Sparks, Green Oak Township Patrol Officers Local Union President. “We received either $2,000 (individual) or $4,000 (family) contributions into our healthcare spending accounts. We did get the 12-hour shifts. That was our members’ number one request. The guys wanted it for a number of different reasons, like more time to spend with family and more days off. Overall, there are more hours worked yearly, but not as many consecutive days spent at work. Rather than work short days, we get paid for the extra hours worked.”
