San Antonio and the city's powerful firefighters union will begin negotiations on a new labor agreement on Thursday, according to the Express-News. The current contract, agreed upon in 2020 following a scorched earth approach from the union, expires at the end of this year.
During the last round of negotiations, then firefighters union president, Chris Steele , launched a scorched earth campaign against the mayor andcity manager.
"We're all kind of testing new waters here because the past so was contentious — downright acrimonious," President of the San Antonio Professional Firefighters Association Joe Jones told the daily this week. However, both Steele and Scully are long gone, and city and union leaders are looking forward to a more polite dialogue this time around.
