Cedar Rapids police seek 7 percent wage cap amid mediation
The city holds to a 7 percent pay increase for Cedar Rapids police, fearing loss of federal funds if exceeded. Policemen's Protective Association officials discuss potential exceptions with Homer Jack of the Wage and Price Stability office, while public pressure and informational picketing continue. If mediation fails, arbitration could set a higher amount, though an arbitrator raising pay is considered unlikely.
