Unit 8 (Firefighters) MOU Analysis

Aug 26, 2022 - This would be the highest pay increase in 2022-23 provided to a bargaining unit since the Unit 6 reopener was approved. Because the second GSI is payable in 2023, it provides a larger pay increase in 2022-23 than received by Unit 6 likely without triggering the Unit 6 reopener.
