Historic gains made in the new contract between the City of St. Petersburg and SEIU Florida Public Services Union has been ratified by an overwhelming majority of the City workers. The five-day ratification was held at various City location from May 8th to 12th, 2023. Below is vote count for all three bargaining units represented by SEIU FPSU.

 

SEIU Florida Public Services Union has reached a tentative agreement on a three-year deal with the City of St Petersburg. Your member-led bargaining team secured the largest raises in 40 years through yearly base wage increases and additional annual wage growth.

For the next three years, all workers will receive a 3.5% base wage increase at the beginning of each City fiscal year. In addition, after more than a decade for Blue Collar and for the first time for White Collar and Professional workers a new Step Program gives most employees an additional raise on their classification anniversary date. 

The first 3.5% raise will happen on October, 1st 2023. Step Program raises follow during the fiscal year. For any workers not already maxed out this means two raises a year. This Step Program helps to more firmly establish equal pay for equal work in the City of St. Petersburg.

In order to receive Step Program raises workers must meet core competencies. With 98% of city workers already meeting core competencies, your member-led bargaining team has established a robust process to ensure raises are received.
