Ramp Rate Talk Resumes as Madison Officials Reconsider
City officials met to review proposed parking ramp labor pay after union leaders objected to a $2 per hour rate set by the commission. The panel delayed a decision until week’s end to allow union reps more time for input before any revised ruling. Original $3.50 rate was cut to $2 following local contractor data, while bids for the ramp project were rejected and will be reopened. May 20 bid openings could shift if the rate changes again. Attendees included Mayor Walter R. Ekum and city officials. Franklin D Roosevelt Jr. declared candidacy for New York governor on the Democratic ticket.
