Baytown Firefighters Vote On Tiered Pay Amid Negotiations
Firefighters in Baytown are set to vote on a contract proposal November 20, 2000, after union members objected to a tiered pay system. The city proposed a 2.5 percent raise, with pay steps widening between lieutenant and chief ranks and monthly salaries to be listed in the contract. Union leaders criticized the plan, noting that the tier structure and compensation differences drive the dispute. Negotiations resume next week as the Baytown Professional Fire Fighters Association, representing about 75 of 84 firefighters, seeks a fairer pay framework and transparency in salaries.
