After nearly 5 years without a contract, corrections officers in Putnam are preparing to vote on a tentative agreement with the county.
Stalled contracts in the sheriff’s department have demoralized staff, cost the county more in overtime and turned Putnam into a training ground for other departments, Sheriff Donald Smith has told county officials.
The 72-member Putnam Sheriff’s Employee Association has been without a contract since January 2003. The union includes correction officers, clerical workers, dispatchers and cooks at the county jail.
The major sticking point in negotiations has involved health-care insurance for retirees.
