Voters Repudiate San Francisco Police Fire Pay Rules
San Francisco voters rejected city pay formulas for 5000 craft workers and 3500 police and fire personnel after an August strike. They backed Proposition B to fix pay by California city averages and repealed the nine-to-one schedule, with a new 18‑day minimum and longer shifts. They also approved Proposition O on dismissal for strikes and rejected proposed arbitration and highest‑pay matching measures. Proposition N curbed mayor’s emergency power after the strike.
