JAY – Selectmen voted unanimously Monday to accept a three-year pact with the union representing police and amend a contract with the office workers’ union for health insurance purposes.

The board had voted in March to sign three Teamsters union contracts covering the departments of highway, transfer station and solid waste, and sewer. Selectmen agreed to sign those Monday.

All four contracts give workers a 3 percent raise each year of the pact and are retroactive to July 1, 2008.

The agreements also reduce the cost of health care to the town with participation in a lesser level package than previously provided.

Town Manager Ruth Marden estimated the savings to the town at between $60,000 and $70,000 each year.

The office workers union will have the same type of coverage, she said.

The town pays 100 percent of health insurance for municipal employees and 80 percent of employees’ dependents’ coverage, she said.
