Tami Denn-Bauer

A tentative agreement was reached with Prairie Community Services on Friday, October 19.  The 3-year agreement includes wage increases across the scale and progressions effective 10/1/18 and 4/1/20, increased shift vacancy incentives, education credit, and other language changes.  The tentative agreement comes with full committee recommendation.

Negotiations began with Prairie Community Services on September 6, 2018.  The Union's negotiating committee includes Linda Haugen, Derek Hagen, Dawn Johnson, Jenna Peasley and Union Representative Tami Denn-Bauer.  The Union and Employer exchanged and discussed contract proposals and were able to come to agreement on many language changes, which were mostly clean-up items.  Economic proposals were presented and will be discussed at our next scheduled meeting(s), which will be held on September 26 and if needed, October 19.  We will continue to update you as these negotiations progress.
