Where last year’s negotiations stand
The firefighter union contract dispute went to arbitration last year and arbitrators ruled the firefighters should get the 1 percent raise they requested. The city is fighting that ruling and could call an election this year to let voters decide whether the firefighters should get raises.
The city recently reached an agreement with the police union on a work contract that will go before council members next week. Officials wouldn’t discuss specifics, but said the agreement includes no police raises.
