Tucson Ends Police and Fire Strike After Pay Rise
Nearly 800 police officers and firefighters return to work after a six day strike over pay. Mayor Murphy calls the settlement Tucson's darkest hour, citing scare tactics. City council approves contract by a 4-3 vote, ratified by the Police Firemen's Association. Fraternal Order of Police leader Carry Brooks says the settlement is good. Firefighter Peter Organesen says it’s over and he’ll return to duty. No major fires or serious police problems were reported in the city of 400000 during the strike.
