INTER-CON
Inter-Con Officers Overwhelmingly Vote to YES to Approve their First Contract!
On September 16 and 17 Inter-Con officers made their voices heard by voting to approve their new contract.
So, what’s next?
1). Now it is time to enforce our contract! Our first priority will be getting the wage increases, retro pay, and new paid time off accruals set up. We will update this page as soon as we have a date for implementation.
Timeline for Wage Increases and Retro Pay: Your new wage, and your retro pay (the pay you were owed under this new wage from 7/1/2025 through 9/27/25 will be on your check that goes out on 10/17/2025. That check will reflect your new rate going back to 9/28/25 and your retro pay.
If you have a question about your pay, or believe it is incorrect, please contact Inter-Con first to report the issue and then the SEIU 49 Member Resource Center.
2). Fill out your SEIU 49 Membership Application — Inter-Con Officers need to fill out a membership application which you can do HERE or via the Paycom application with Inter-Con.
3). Building Union Power at our worksites — We also need to elect Union Stewards. Union Stewards are Officers who represent their coworkers and will get trained on our contract and how to answer questions from coworkers and work with Inter-Con management when issues come up. Union Stewards need to be elected by their coworkers.
Are you interested in becoming a Union Steward?
You will need to have at least 4 coworkers fill out this short form nominating you to be their steward.
