Time to Ratify this Year’s Wage Agreement.
Your Member-Led Bargaining Committee has reached a Tentative Agreement for this year’s Wage ReOpener with your employer, Pinellas County Schools. FPSU and PCSB have tentatively agreed to a 1% across the board wage increase, as well as a Memorandum of Understanding to include 2 separate One-Time Payments paid in December 2025 and May 2026. The One-Time Payments will be $150 each for benefits eligible workers, and $75 each for part time workers.
Pinellas County School workers must now ratify the changes to the contract through a simple majority democratic vote.

This year, Florida State Legislators voted to increase Pinellas County Schools budget for Teachers pay by a mere 0.7%, and budgeted NO INCREASE for Support Staff funding for this fiscal year, meaning that the Florida State Government does not value our workers with their budget. 0.7% is the same amount PCS Admin initially offered our workers for this year’s raises.
Your coworkers quickly rejected that offer and fought for more, settling on 1% and two cash bonuses for all workers in our Bargaining Unit. This raise does not come close to addressing the systemic inequality plaguing our nation, yet it is a result of your state government simply refusing to adequately fund public schools. Join your union today – history has shown us that only organized labor has the power to pressure politicians to fund our schools and our communities with our tax dollars.
Florida Public Service Union will have multiple voting locations to ensure the maximum number of our workers have the ability to cast their vote.
