Re: IAFF Local 316 Contract for 2012-2014
As you know, we reached a tentative agreement on August 31, 2012 with the IAFF
Local 316 for the contract years of 2012, 2013 & 2014. This agreement was
ratified by the IAFF Local 316 on September 13, 2012.
I believe this agreement is good for both the IAFF Local 316 and the City as it:
1) Provides for both full contribution by IAFF members toward the employee
share of the Wisconsin Retirement System contribution as well as a 12%
premium contribution toward health insurance by 1/1/2013.
2) Provides a 2.5% across the board wage increase each year of the
agreement.
3) Provides the opportunity for voluntary settlements with all other
represented groups.
Included in this packet is the tentative agreement ratified by the IAFF Local 316
and a financial statement which details the costs associated with the agreement.
Please let me know if you or any of the Council Members have any questions and
thank you for your support and assistance with this process.
