The membership of the Chicago Fire Fighters Union has decided to voice its displeasure with the City of Chicago for its lack of good faith bargaining on promotions.
Promotions are a mandatory subject of bargaining.
The membership has directed the Executive Board to conduct informational picketing around City Hall on Monday, Aug. 26th at noon. During our '92-'95 contract negotiations, the City would not discuss promotional procedures with Local 2. The city promised that if we signed the '92-'95 contract, they would immediately negotiate promotional procedures in this round of negations. The Union went along with this promise, but the City reneged and continue to stall. As of this date, it has been 15 months without a counter-proposal from the City for a fair and equitable testing procedure.
