Firefighters seek pay grade changes and union backed rules
The union seeks seven pay grades from thirteen with each step 4 percent higher, a new overtime contact method, and vacation rules to allow union business time off. Voters approved bargaining in 2001, with the city and department historically heated talks. The current round uses in-house staff, with final agreement due after a third meeting before the October expiration of the existing contract.
