The new contract includes wage increases in each year and provides job security for the employees.  “Our members perform important work on the campus keeping students and faculty safe and secure,” said Tony St. Hilaire, Secretary-Treasurer at Local 597. “Our local union will continue to give them strong representation with their employer.”
