  1. Open mic and Q & A box
  • Don’t believe the rumors. Our bargaining team is not going to the table with the consideration that we will take a cut in salary. The asking package is reasonable and voted on by council. Remember that you have a voice. You have to go through the proper channels.
  • We have signed a document that is allowing us to go straight to arbitration. If we come to the point where we can’t agree, we will go to binding arbitration.
  • Both sides of the table at this point are positive and willing to negotiate.
