Deputy sheriffs’ union approves collective bargaining agreement with Bexar County

The Deputy Sheriff’s Association of Bexar County announced it has approved a collective bargaining agreement with Bexar County. It said 500 members voted for and 51 voted against the agreement. “We would like to thank the members of the DSABC Negotiating Team and all DSABC members for their input during the negotiations process and their vote for this important election,” DSABC stated in its news release. Negotiations on the labor contract started in fall 2020 amid calls for police reform in the wake of George Floyd’s death while in Minneapolis police custody. The previous contract expired Sept. 30, 2020.
