Cedar Rapids Firemen Wage Demands Stir Budget Tensions
Cedar Rapids city council examined eight fire department wage and benefit requests led by Local 11 of the Firefighters. Analysis by Personnel Director I C Ellertson shows eight changes would cost about 102 2300 annually, with the 1968 payroll plan proposing a 4.5 percent overall raise for city workers. The council, short on funds, will study the proposals further and defer action.
