Today, AFSCME Council 93 Unit 2 members working for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts voted to ratify a new one-year contract that recognizes the hard work and dedication Council 93 members bring to their jobs each and every day.

Council 93 worked hard to secure a contract agreement that reflected the work our members do to provide essential public services to the Commonwealth. The contract, which provides an 8% wage increase over the next fiscal year and a new pool of state funds to address classification and pay discrepancies in state service, passed by an overwhelming majority.

“I want to personally thank the dedicated members of our negotiating team and our Council 93 staff for the countless hours they have spent over the last few months fighting for their members and a contract that they can all be proud of,” said chief negotiator Eddie Nastari, AFSCME Council 93’s Director of Field Services and Organizing, “I also want to thank our Executive Director Mark Bernard for his guidance and leadership throughout the entire process. Lastly, this would not be possible without the support of our members who came out to ratify their contract.”
