Oryza Group Reaches New Collective Bargaining Agreement with USCIS Vermont Service Center Workers
DOUGLASVILLE, Ga., Oct. 16, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Oryza Group today announced that the firm has reached a new, five-year collective bargaining agreement with workers at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service's Vermont Service Center in St. Albans. The agreement, struck early this morning between Oryza and leaders of Local 208 of the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America, next moves to a ratification vote by the bargaining unit's approximately 350 workers.
Leland Rice, President of Oryza, praised negotiating teams on both sides for bargaining intensively but respectfully.
"This agreement strikes a good balance between the need for fiscal responsibility in a time of economic challenges and our employees' desire for fair wages and benefits," Mr. Rice said. "Most importantly, the agreement enables us to provide long-term stability and continuity of service to the immigrant population that relies on us."
The Vermont Service Center provides vital record-keeping and document-processing services for immigrants in the Eastern United States.
