Overview

• The agreement, which applies retroactively to July 1, combines a new three-year contract with last fall’s extension to deliver a 14% pay boost over Mayor Parker’s term.
• After days of stalled talks, city and union negotiators returned to the table on July 8, sealing the deal in the pre-dawn hours of July 9.
• Approximately 9,000 workers including sanitation crews, 911 dispatchers and water department staff are set to resume full duties under prior court orders.
• The city will focus on clearing “Parker Piles” and restoring curbside trash pickup, libraries, pools and other services that were halted by the strike.
• Union leadership will submit the tentative contract to a rank-and-file vote in the coming days before the accord can take effect.
