Arbitration Sought in Altus Police Contract Dispute
A writ of mandamus to compel arbitration between the City of Altus and the local Fraternal Order of Police lodge was to be filed in Jackson County District Court. The FOP alleges a stalemate in contract talks over pay, with a 7 percent proposed city merit raise plus a 9 percent cost of living increase, while the city contends with a 7 percent overall raise. The dispute followed two sick-ins and an emergency council meeting. Fire department negotiations reached a separate agreement, pending ratification.
