DES MOINES — Members of three unions representing state employees have reached agreements on new labor contracts that will boost their wages by at least 2 percent in each of the next two fiscal years, according to union and government reports.

According to a report issued Friday by Iowa House Republicans, the state has agreed to pay salary increases of 2.1 percent annually to members of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, Iowa United Professionals and bargaining units under the Board of Regents and Iowa’s Judicial Branch through June 30, 2021.

Members of the State Police Officers Council settled on an increase of 2.5 percent annually for the next two fiscal years, according to the GOP Capitol report.

Officials in Gov. Kim Reynolds’ office and the state Department of Administrative Services did not respond to requests for contract details, but AFSCME posted information on its Facebook page indicating 99.7 percent of the members who participated in a ratification vote approved the new contract terms setting wage increases of 2.1 percent effective July 1 and another 2.1 percent pay hike July 1, 2020.
