HUTCHINSON, Kan. — City officials and the union representing a large number of city service employees have met again to try to find some common ground on a new contract for 2022.
This comes after employees rejected the latest contract offer from the city. City Manager Jeff Cantrell says the two sides have met and some things were ironed out. No new meetings have been scheduled at this time.
Cantrell says he will have an update for the city council during the next meeting, which is set for Jan 4.
The contract covers about 125 city employees in everything from clerical, to Public Works and the Parks Department. The number represents about a quarter of the entire city workforce.
The city has already approved contracts with its police, fire, and 911 dispatchers.
