15. Arbitration Panel’s Original Settlement 19.2% raise over 5 years; total cost $74 million 2.5% raise in exchange for random drug and alcohol testing FY2011 would begin with a 2.5% raise, setting the standard for other upcoming union negotiations

16. Local 718, City Council, and Administration Found Compromise 17% raise over 5 fiscal years All new firefighters must take yearly physicals and pass a fitness test, otherwise no 1.5% No payment henceforth for drug and alcohol testing Over 20 years, the city will save $45 million from the original settlement FY2011's increase (2.5%) delayed 6 months, effectively serving as a 1.25% increase for FY2011

17. Intangible Benefits Arbitration is forever different in that an award may change or be defeated at the Council, something that was previously assumed to be impossible For the first time, one of Boston's big three unions (police, fire, teacher) made a significant pay concession outside of the bargaining table The biggest benefit is ending four years of bitter conflict between management and labor. This saves the City millions of dollars in lawyer bills and restores morale and productivity Shooting down the award would return labor and management to the table resulting in further delay, increased legal costs, a continued toxic relationship, likelihood of going back to arbitration, with no guarantee of a better result Or 718 could have litigated the award on the basis that the Menino administration violated their agreement to support the award and abide by the arbitration rules
