Before the holiday season becomes busy and full of noise, we wanted to take a quiet moment to wish you and your families a very Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year.

May these special days bring you good health, peace, laughter and time with the people who matter most in your lives. We hope the coming year treats you and your families kindly and gives you moments worth holding onto.

Jerry and I look forward to seeing you in 2026, and wish you warmth, joy and everything your heart desires during this season.

Hi! DCSMEC salary setting has been completed and loaded. All implemented changes will be reflected on the 12/26/2025 paycheck, and any remaining groups will be processed after Winter Recess along with the corresponding payments.

Please note that the foreperson supplement (2% of base or Higher Position Groups) has not yet been implemented. This requires the creation of two new wage types, which we will request and process after we return from Winter Recess.

Hope this makes everyone’s Holiday Season Better.

Respectfully,

David, Jerry, The Entire Negotiating Team and Labor Relations
