Woodbury board tables Local Union 443 public works contract after union rejects proposal

The Town of Woodbury Board of Selectmen on Sept. 29, 2026, tabled consideration of a proposed contract with Local Union 443 for the Public Works bargaining unit covering July 1, 2026–June 30, 2029 after the union rejected the town's proposal. First Selectman Paul Zulpa told the board that "the union had rejected the proposed contract, and as a result, no action was taken." The board made no alternate motion and agreed to revisit the item at a future meeting.

The action was taken at the start of the board's special meeting, which convened at 8:15 a.m. Zulpa indicated the item will be brought back before the Board pending further negotiation; no timetable or next meeting date for that item was specified in the minutes.
