People make organizations work, Tucker says

SPOKANE COUNTY Prosecutor Steve Tucker believes that people make organizations work and that those people should be treated well.

As a result, he has wasted no time in carving a new deal for his staff, who have been subject to the vicissitudes of political swings in recent years.

He told Council 2’s biennial convention that, after he was elected prosecutor, he began contract negotiations. The negotiations were concluded in April.

Until then, the Spokane County prosecutors had worked without a contract since 1992.

The new contract calls for pay raises of 18 percent to 23 percent retroactive to January 1 for the prosecutors — “and that will be on their next pay check,” Tucker added. “You get better results when you work with people.”

Tucker trusts his staff, too.

"I am so proud of the people in my office. They are welcome to talk with the Press when they feel like it; they handle their cases the way they want.

"It has been working great, and we have had some great results recently."
