Firefighters Stack Grievance Route Over Wage Reopeners
Marion city officials and firefighter negotiators clash over a wage reopening clause in the contract. City Manager Larry Asaro says the clause should not have remained and may prompt a grievance. Firefighter Dave Eberhart notes a 6.5 percent raise hinged on the reopening. They had sought 4 percent more, retroactive to January 1, to keep up with inflation, costing the city about 4 627 through July and 9 815 for the 1979 80 year.
