This process can take many months. 8/1/2019 Employee Services Department

Employee and Labor Relations Division The current contracts in effect for all six unions cover the period of October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2020. We anticipate that the next round of bargaining will commence in early 2020 with the desire to have new contracts in place by the expiration of the current agreements. If no successor agreement is in place at the expiration of the current contract, the City operates under the status quo, meaning that the terms and conditions of the previous contract remain intact. Since wages can only be negotiated for the three year period, once a contract expires, wages cannot be increased until the parties collectively bargain the wages. 8/1/2019 Employee Services Department
