Tentative Agreement Reached on Sept. 30
Voting to Begin Shortly
Thanks to all the visibility and pressure from members over the last several weeks, the City finally brought us a reasonable economic offer that includes:
- A 1-4% CPI-based COLA formula
- Longevity Premium of 2% at 10yrs service
- Many targeted wage adjustments
- A $100 increase to the protective gear allowance
- 3 additional personal holidays for fully in-person workers
- Increases to the standby and shift differential rates
- Moving all of our classifications to time and a half overtime eligible
- And more!
A summary of the economics was presented during the bargaining update on Sept. 30 and can be found in the meeting notes in the member portal.
The TA will be reviewed in full at the chapter meeting on Tuesday, Oct., 6, and the complete redlines will be provided as part of the ratification vote. Your bargaining team and stewards are actively scheduling additional Q&A sessions by bureau and updates will be posted here, so check back often.
This has been a grueling bargaining cycle — please thank your bargaining team members for the 18 months of work it took to get this agreement.
