City unions urge wage talks as council hears complaints
San Antonio labor groups representing firefighters transit workers and garbagemen pressed the City Council over wage offers and perceived meddling by the city personnel director Clyde McCullough. They charged the city lacks authority to negotiate individually with firefighters and called for bargaining at the table. The fire union rejected a 7.5 percent raise clause tied to forfeiture of future compensation while bus drivers seek 8.8 percent against a 3.5 percent offer as the contract nears its expiry.
