Why don’t Superior Court employees get the 1k bonus, do we not qualify?
LA Superior Courts are covered under a separate contract than other LA County employees. However — Courts employees will start bargaining for a new contract soon and preparations are already underway. Top priorities for everyone in Legal Processing (BU 860) and Supervisors (BU 867) include:
– Salary increases and Heroes Pay
– A new, paid Juneteenth holiday
– Returning vacation requests back to November 1
– Supervisor’s Bonus for supervising 12+ employees or 2 litigations
We’ll have more info in the future for LA Superior Courts members as contract negotiation developments take place.
