Scott Reed Offer Quotations

But we have said all along if you want to put more money in health and welfare versus wages we're more than willing to talk about that. And in fact, in the last offer the union asked that we put the bulk of that offer into wages.

We're just really excited to be able to offer this. It's a first for Durham, and really for the Triangle because we are currently the only city in the Triangle area who is offering this type of service to the community.

We know that it's a very substantial and very generous offer so when it was rejected, that was a disappointment and a bit of a surprise.

We're very pleased that we were able to come to this agreement, which is a very substantial and fair contract offer that we believe will be handily ratified by the union membership.

It's basically the same offer we had previously, but we were able to also put in a signing bonus of $250 and agreed in years two and three to split any potential increases in health cares.
