Monroe city council mulls collective bargaining
posted Thursday, November 5th, 2009 @ 6:00 pmE-mail Story E-mail Story | Print Story Print Story 
The Monroe City Council could approve a revised collective bargaining agreement with the local firefighters union after revoking an agreement approximately two years ago.

In October 2007, the city council revoked an agreement with International Association of Firefighters Local No. 629 due to several questions regarding the legality of holiday pay.

At that time, the Legislative Auditor's office questioned whether the agreement that provided firefighters with 120 hours holiday pay annually violated state law. The Attorney General's office in December 2007 issued an opinion, saying holiday pay to firefighters did not violate state law.
