Wood County OKs nursing home pact

7/19/2006

BOWLING GREEN Wood County commissioners yesterday approved a three-year contract with employees at Wood Haven Health Care, the county-owned nursing home.

The pact covers 74 employees who are members of Service Employees International Union District 1199.

The union approved the contract, which gives workers a 3 percent raise the first year. In the second year, the contract calls for a 2 percent raise, although that could be higher if other county employees receive a higher raise, county officials said.

In the third year, the employees will receive the same raise granted to other county employees.
