Hello City Workers,

TheUnion and the City have agreed on the selection of a Special Magistrate to oversee the first part of the Impasse process.

In coordination with the City we will seek to schedule the hearing soon.

What happens at this step?

The Special Magistrate will hold a hearing and then issue non-binding recommendations. Either the City or the Union can agree to or reject any of these.

What happens then?

If either party elects to not accept the Special Magistrates recommendation, then a special, public, session of the City Council will be set up to hear the arguments and render a final decision.

When will this happen?

As of now, there is no dates set. We will continue to send updates when developments happen.

As always, you can reach out to an Union Organizer or Union Steward if there is anything else.

What is an Impasse?

Now, the issue goes before a neutral Special Magistrate who makes a recommendation. After that, the City Council will make the final decision.

To win, it will take every one of us showing up, mobilizing, and making our voices heard so that City Council members understand the truth:

  • We are the backbone of this city.
  • We deserve fair wages that reflect the reality of inflation.
  • We cannot and will not accept being treated as second-class workers.

This means paying attention, turning out when your union calls, and being ready to take action together.

Our demand is fair. Our work is essential. Our families cannot continue to fall behind.
