was 5 mph, and they don't seem to go any faster now.

Hopkinton paraprofessionals win
year and half long effort to form union and improve
conditions
Hopkinton, MA – June 19, 2012 — School paraprofessionals declared victory on Thursday, June 14 in their 19 month effort to form a union and improve working conditions after an overwhelming majority of the workers voted to ratify their first union contract. The union agreement with School District management will improve paid time off by increasing holidays from five to eleven per year and allowing workers more sick time if needed. The contract ensures workers a voice on-the-job and increases their job security with an enforceable grievance and arbitration procedure. Paraprofessional will also receive regular scheduled wage increases.
School Paraprofessionals provide opportunity for
students to have individualized instruction in the
classroom. There are about 80 employees in the
Hopkinton Paraprofessional Chapter.
"We are really excited to finally have our first
contract and get the recognition for all the hard
work we do," said Ken Marin, a twelve year employee
of the school district. "Now we are on our way to
get the respect we deserve."
"This will benefit all the paraprofessionals and our
students going forward," said Linda Smith, a
Hopkinton paraprofessional who helped negotiate the
union contract with a team of six co-workers. "And
it puts us on an equal footing with the rest of
district. A lot of what we were looking for was
respect. Our new contract is a good start"
Employees decided to form their union in October of
2010 and won certification for collective bargaining
on May 31, 2011. Bargaining began second week of
June 2011.
"SEIU Local 888 unites over 500 paraprofessional
educators in Massachusetts for the good jobs and
quality education our communities need," said local
president Mark DelloRusso. "In today's challenging
environment for public service workers, gaining
strength through unity is the key to maintaining
standards and advancing in your career."
SEIU Local 888 unites more than 8,500 public
service, higher education and not-for-profit workers
in Massachusetts. Learn more at:

A Blending Process  June
20, 2012 — Hopkinton Gulf is now a Sunoco Gas
station, featuring its unique way of blending
superior and lesser octane grades of gasoline
together to reach different levels of purity. The
100+ year-old company was known for selling the
highest octane leaded gas on the market, Sunoco 260
(97.5 Octane), during the heyday of muscle cars. And
now the station — it
may become Hopkinton Sunoco — is blending the sale
of its blended gasoline with the purchase of
groceries at Price Chopper Supermarkets, one of
which is opening on Thursday in Hopkinton Square at
the corner of South and West Main Streets. The
partnership is called AdvantEdge, which can be
learned about by choosing the Hopkinton Sunoco Icon. |
