CBA-MOU JULY 2018- JUNE 2023.pdf

This is a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) and Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) document between Westchester County and labor representatives covering the period July 2018 through June 2023 for employees operating the Bee-Line Paratransit system. The agreement establishes the terms and conditions of employment for the unionized workforce responsible for operating the county's seven-day-a-week, demand-responsive paratransit service serving seniors and individuals with disabilities throughout Westchester County and limited areas of bordering jurisdictions including Bronx County, Putnam County, and Connecticut. The document outlines wages, benefits, hours of work, grievance procedures, and other employment-related provisions governing the operational staff and administrative personnel involved in delivering paratransit services.

The CBA-MOU specifies compensation structures, fringe benefits, pension contributions, and working conditions for covered employees during the five-year contract term. The agreement addresses matters such as seniority rights, job classifications, scheduling practices, and dispute resolution mechanisms to ensure stable labor relations and consistent service delivery. This document serves as the foundational employment agreement for the incumbent paratransit operator and establishes the baseline labor costs and operational parameters that would be assumed by any successor contractor bidding on the Countywide Bee-Line Paratransit Traditional Service & Technology Enhancements procurement opportunity.
