JaxPort board supports pay raise for union workers

The Jacksonville Port Authority board on Monday agreed to a pay raise for union-represented workers, boosting their paychecks by 75 cents per hour starting Oct. 1.

The agreement covers 71 positions at JaxPort and equates to an overall 3 percent increase in pay for those workers represented by the Federation of Public Employees.

The change amends an existing three-year contract that will run through Sept. 30, 2013. That contract required both sides to come back for talks about pay levels for the third year of the contract.

The union members still must vote to ratify the contract.
