New Collective Bargaining Agreements in Adams County, Illinois
On May 13, 2014, the Adams County Board approved eleven collective bargaining agreements with three different unions. In addition to overtime cost reductions and 2% wage increases, these agreements require employees to begin paying for single coverage health insurance and offer a wellness incentive to reduce costs to both the employer and employees.
