Unions and KCP&L Agree on Pay Hike
Kansas City Power and Light and two of three unions representing about 2000 employees reached a pay raise agreement early today.

The dispute included a state seizure of the utility last August and internal disciplinary actions affecting 69 linemen and apprentices. Local 412 suspensions and local 1464 withdrawal shaped the settlement as mediation continued.
