The membership voted to approve the proposed contract with the City that called for a 2.5% across-the-board pay raise and the addition of a 2.5% Step K. These pay increases will become effective on June 30, 2011. Also part of the agreement was a 10% increase in medical insurance premiums (which we have already been paying since the medical fund was running below a pre-determined stop-loss amount) and a one time use of 100 rounds of our practice ammunition to be used at a Firearms Qualification this summer. The Union membership voted 117-4 in favor for the contract terms. The City Council voted to approve the agreement last night (01/25/11) at the Council Meeting.
If members have any ideas for the next round of contract negotiations please forward them to the Executive Board and/or be sure to attend the upcoming monthly meetings.
