Upper Darby reaches agreement with municipal workers

The township said in a press release the new agreement includes wage increases and other compensatory benefits in exchange for workers contributing more toward health benefits.

“The negotiations were very productive, and I appreciate the earnest effort from both parties in balancing the needs of our employees with those of the taxpayers,” said Crandall Jones, Upper Darby Township’s chief administrative officer, in a press release.

The township asserted the agreement improves Upper Darby’s “fiscal position.” TWU Local 234 did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
