The contract, which lays out the pay scale, benefits and other conditions for most of the department's uniformed and civilian employees, expired on June 30. Under the terms of the expired agreement, the department's union employees will continue to abide by the former contract until a new one is ratified.
But a proposed contract negotiated between the union and the city's administration failed to muster aldermanic approval when it came up for a vote at a recent meeting. After discussing the confidential contract during an executive session, the board returned to an open session to vote 6-2 against the contract.
Aldermen Robert Barrett, Kevin Coleman, Sharon Davis, Tom DePoy, David Dress and Christopher Robinson voted to reject the contract while Aldermen William Notte and Joe Tilden voted for it. Aldermen Joanne Slattery and Roy Thomas were not present for the vote.
