EAST GREENWICH, R.I. -- A union representing about 31 municipal employees will receive no pay increase until 2011 and be required to pay higher deductibles for health insurance, according to an agreement ratified unanimously Monday night by the Town Council. The two-year deal with the East Greenwich Municipal Employees' Association / NEARI is in line with contracts with other unions in town, which agreed to concessions earlier this year because of the economic climate, said Town Manager William Sequino Jr. The agreement is retroactive to July 1 and calls for no immediate pay increase. Members would receive a 2.5 percent pay hike on Jan. 1, 2011. The annual deductible workers have to pay for their health care now doubles, under the pact, going from $250 for individuals and $500 per year for families, to $500 and $1,000 respectively. East Greenwich has its own health insurance program. gemery@projo.com/ (401) 277-7442
