KTRK-13 is reporting that Houston firefighters may have come to a contract agreement with the city:
Houston firefighters have never stopped fighting fire, even as their contract negotiations sputtered on and off. But negotiators on both sides reached a tentative agreement Thursday.
“The increase in hours is no longer there. The increase in days we will work is no longer there and there is a considerable amount of lesser money,” said Roland Chavez with the Houston Firefighters Union.
Among the agreement’s main points are the following…
# There will be no additional work hours or shifts
# Firefighters will get a 26 percent raise over 3
