Courthouse workers joined a strike at 3 p.m. Friday and report pay offers as $10 above the usual $47.50 increment while being asked to extend work hours. Officials propose 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. or 5 p.m., with increases tied to longer hours. Union members say the deal adds about $1,500 annually in benefits, but more than offset by lost daily pay.
