The PPA recognizes a $226M shortfall of City revenues due
to the COVID-19 pandemic. The City’s philosophy is a
shared sacrifice for all City employees. The PPA was able to
convince the City of a proportional sacrifice due to the hard
work and dedication of all of you during these unprecedented
times.
As a result, our net bargaining position in 2022, increases by
$9M. This was accomplished by bargaining for a 100-hour
holiday bank in lieu of holiday pay in 2021.
A total 3.5 percent pay increase was secured for 2022.
All current benefits are fully restored in 2022.
Contract ratification will be done online only
