Resolution to Approve the Collective Bargaining Agreement with Local 693 of the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) Collective Bargaining Agreement for July 1, 2010 - June 30, 2014
Memorandum
Human Resources Services recommends approval of the attached Resolution for the new Collective Bargaining Agreement between the City of Ann Arbor and Local 693 of the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF). The City and IAFF have been operating without a contract since the previous agreement expired June 30, 2010.
The negotiated contract is in alignment with other contracts recently settled and includes the elimination of 457 match and reduction in food allowance. It also includes a change in schedule for platoon employees to increase their weekly hours worked.
This agreement also includes changes in health care plans that mirror the non-union hi/low plan and meets the State mandated hard cap levels as well as changes in new hire pension and new hire retiree healthcare.
This agreement provides for a 1.5% wage adjustment effective July 1, 2012 and 1.5% effective July 1, 2013. These wage increases bring the hourly wages back to the levels of June 2008.
This agreement also provides an entirely new wage scale for new hires.
