On Wednesday, June 27, the County reached a one-year tentative agreement with the Sheriff Staff Officers Association. The Probation Managers Association came to a three-year tentative agreement on June 19. All three agreements go into effect July 1.
In the three-year agreements reached with MCMEA and the Probation Managers, represented employees will receive wage increases of 2.5 percent in July 2018, 3 percent in July 2019 and 2.5 percent in July 2020.
