Action Item
RMLD Line-Meter-Station Unit
Mr. Cameron explained that we have come to an agreement with the Line-Meter-Station (LMS) Unit on the new
union contract. The major difference between the first agreement, which was not ratified, and the current one is that
the LMS union did not like the portion addressing eliminating Step 5 of the Sr. Meter Technician position and
settling the Step 5 Grievance. The LMS Bargaining Committee met with management two more times and the
parties settled for a further reduction of the sick buy back from 90 to 30 days for all new employees. In addition, the
financial package is 1/4% lower than the original offer. For the three years the increases are 3.5%, 3.25%, 3.25%.
Ms. Kearns asked if there was retro pay involved. Mr. Cameron responded that there was.
Mr. Ensminger made a motion seconded by Ms. Kearns to accept the Agreement between the Municipal Light
Department of the Town of Reading and American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees union,
AFL-CIO, Council #93 and Local #1703 for the period of January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2006.
Motion carried 3:0:0
