Similar Stories to Contract For More Than 1,000 City Workers In The Balance As Unions Spar, Point Fingers At City on Bing News

Two unions representing two sets of Chicago city workers, forced to bargain their contracts jointly, are in the midst of an extraordinary spat, accusing each other and the city of playing politics and failing to hold up their ends of the deal. City workers who are members of SEIU Local 73 bargain their contracts jointly with city employees who are members of IBEW Local 21. Local 73 says it represents more than 800 workers including traffic control, parking enforcement and aviation safety employees, while Local 21 represents more than 350 911 operators and dispatchers at the Office of Emergency Management and Communications and aviation communication officers based at both Chicago airports. The workers’ last contract expired in June 2022 and they haven’t had a raise since then, representatives for SEIU said. The city jointly bargained a new agreement with SEIU and IBEW, which SEIU took to a vote among its members for approval, the union said. IBEW, however, is still trying to resolve non-economic issues in the contract for its members, including additional compensatory time for 911 operators.
