THE CITY OF PEEKSKILL IS UNFAIR TO PUBLIC WORKS EMPLOYEES

THE CITY OF PEEKSKILL IS UNFAIR TO

PUBLIC WORKS EMPLOYEES

Teamsters working in the City of Peekskill Department of Public Works are

here to take a stand against City management for unfair treatment.

We are the people who clean your streets, pick up your trash, and remove

snow from the roads to ensure your safety. We are the people who were

unable to work from home during the Covid 19 shutdown and were exposed

to Covid at work.

We are the people who respond in the middle of the night to plow your roads

while everyone else is warm and asleep. We are the ones who come out to

repair water main breaks in the middle of storms so you can have water and

fire fighting capabilities. We are the ones who leave our families to respond

to the City's needs on holidays, our children's bithdays, and during our

children's school events.

We take pride in our work and serving the community.

We have been without a contract for several years, and have not received a

wage increase since 2017. We pay our fair share of the cost of our benefits

based on what we earn. We cannot accept a wage increase that costs us

more in medical premiums.

The Town has given other employees substantial increases since 2018, but

offered us minimal increases for the same years. If other employees can get

fair raises, why can't we? we work nard, and as Peekskill grows, so does

the workload. The City has not increased the staffing level, but has

increased the amount of work we perform.

All we are asking for is fair and equal treatment. We live here and pay

taxes, Bbut cannot afford to stay in the community without a fair salary

increase.

Please support us and contact the CIty Manager and Common Council. e

them to do right hing for the employees.

WE ARE APPEALING ONLY TO THE PUBLIC. WE ARE NOT SEEKINGTO

INDUCE ANY PERSON TO EASE WORK OR REFUSE TO MAKE DELIVERIES
