NORWICH – No word yet on the amount Chenango County will have to payout to law enforcement deputies after the results of a lengthly interest arbitration period were made known last week.
The contract was finalized after 18 months of arbitration that was preceeded by months of unsuccessful negotiations between the county and the union representing law enforcement deputies and road patrol. The bargaining unit received 3 percent base salary increases and other compensation over a two-year term commencing Jan. 1, 2010 and expiring Dec. 31, 2011, according to the New York State Public Employment Relations Board.
