Rochester Hills City Council on Jan. 12 approved tentative collective bargaining agreements with two municipal employee unions: Michigan Association of Firefighters (MAF) Local 50 and AFSCME Local 1917.
City negotiators presented a four‑year agreement with MAF Local 50 (effective Jan. 1, 2025–Dec. 31, 2028) and a three‑year agreement with AFSCME Local 1917 (effective Jan. 1, 2026–Dec. 31, 2028). Staff described both agreements as the result of collaborative bargaining, ratified by union membership after closed‑session talks. The presenter said wage increases were aligned with other bargaining units to maintain internal parity and fiscal stability.
Vice President Mangioli thanked negotiators and union members for their cooperation. Council moved and approved both settlement agreements by voice vote; each resolution conditions acceptance on the executed written agreement.
Next steps: city and unions to finalize executed agreements and implement terms in payroll and budget tracking.
