The Pawtucket City Council voted 9–0 to ratify an October 2025 addendum to the collective bargaining agreement between the City and Rhode Island Council 94 AFSCME (Local referenced in committee record) covering the period July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2027.
The finance committee had earlier taken up the addendum and recommended ratification, noting that staff expected the fiscal impact to be minimal for the life of the relevant contract language. On the council floor, the motion to approve was carried by roll call with all nine councilors recorded in favor.
Council and staff members said the change will likely affect a very small number of positions and that the city’s fiscal exposure is limited. No specific dollar figure was provided during discussion; staff described the cost implication as “very minimal.”
The council action implements the committee recommendation and closes the item subject to the adopted addendum language.
