Frankfort water workers edge back to work amid wage talks
West Frankfort city employees returned to their jobs and garbage collection resumed after a week as four water department workers reached a settlement with the city. The agreement provides a 60 cent hourly raise to 6.50 with talks for a further 50 cent raise in six months. The contempt motion against the strikers was dropped. Local officials warned the water rate may rise slightly to cover the wage increase amid a projected $51,000 deficit for the department this year.
