Response to Letter on Closing New Bedford Court
We have received a response to President Holway’s demand that the Trial Court close the New Bedford Courthouse until repairs are complete, and the working environment is healthy and safe. Included in Administrator Ambrosino’s response was the letter linked below that was sent New Bedford Court leadership earlier this week.
While we are encouraged by the Court’s long-term plan as it is laid out in the letter, we are not satisfied with the determination to keep the courthouse open. We will continue to advocate for our member’s health and safety, and to that end, have secured the Court’s commitment to bring in DPH to assess conditions in the building. In addition, the Trial Court has promised thorough air quality testing. We will keep you updated as this matter continues to progress.

We are pleased to notify you that NAGE has entered into an agreement with the Trial Court for a job reclassification plan that will benefit all NAGE members. The agreement provides as follows:
As many employees know, this proposed plan has been under discussion for some time. Credit goes to your Local President for working to ensure the best possible outcome from these negotiations, and for their insistence that we not move forward until we had assurances that we had secured the best possible outcome for our members.
- Reclassifications will go into effect January 27, 2025.
- Two weeks after January 2025, the NAGE-negotiated 3% salary increase will go into effect for all members.
- Member's current step dates will remain unchanged.
- The promotional factor in the contract will be improved to a minimum 5% increase.
- The new starting vacation rate will be 3 weeks per year. Employees currently accruing less than 3 weeks will move to a 3 week accrual schedule.
- The new starting salary step will be Step 3. Employees below Step 3 will move up to Step 3 upon conversion.
As many employees know, this proposed plan has been under discussion for some time.
