Contract talks begin today in Baltimore city
Negotiators for two Baltimore unions meet city officials to set new wage levels for 27 500 municipal workers. The talks follow 1974 strikes by police and sanitation staff and target a June 30 contract expiration amid city financial strain and a $220 million annual wage base. Union leaders push for substantial raises to offset inflation while officials cite a modest surplus and tight finances.
