2.5% raise and retroactive pay

Sisters and brothers,

The recently ratified contract was submitted and approved by the legislature last week. The judicial branch has stated the approved 2.5 percent increase will begin on May 29, 2026. The retroactive pay back to the pay period including July 1, 2025, will be in the June 11, 2026 Payroll check. 

Local 749 has not had an update from the Division of Criminal Justice or Public Defender services. Once the Union receives the information from the respective Human resources, we will update the website. 

Check for additional information at: Local749.org or our Facebook page.

In solidarity,

Ron Nelson
