Labor Agreement between
the City of Lakeville and Minnesota Teamsters Local No. 320
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve the labor agreement
between the City of Lakeville and Minnesota Teamsters Local No. 320 for 2020 and 2021.
Overview
A two-year agreement has been reached with the Teamsters union which will take effect on
January 1, 2020 and continue through December 31, 2021. This agreement will provide a 3%
increase to wages effective January 1, 2020; and a 3% increase effective January 1, 2021.
In 2018, Springsted, Inc. completed a job classification and compensation study. Maintenance II
positions were classified a Grade 6 and Lead positions were classified a Grade 8. Employees will
be transitioning to the new pay plan in 2020. Step increases will be tied to an annual performance
evaluation.
The agreement also provides health insurance rates identical to all other city employees.
Additional items include a change to the work schedule; a $20 annual increase for clothing
allowance; minimum call back will be 2.5 hours; Injury on Duty/Temporary Partial Disability
will be prorated accordingly; brother-in-law, sister-in-law and grandchild will be considered
immediate family for funeral leave; all compensatory time over 40 hours will be paid out at the
end of the year; and a 72 hours in advance notice is required for compensatory time off.
The Personnel Committee has reviewed the agreement and is recommending its approval.
Primary Issues to Consider
• How does the proposed wage increase compare to comparable cities? The average increase
of those contracts that are settled is 3% per year.
