Board rescinds pay rate increase

The Orion Township Department of Public Works (DPW) wage increases agreed upon at the Dec. 19 board meeting were rescinded on Jan. 3.
The action was taken because the township cannot increase DPW wages for 2006 without their agreement.
Contract negotiations are underway and the wage increases were not agreed to by the DPW union.
The board rescinded the 2006 pay rate increases until the DPW union finishes negotiations.
