Mount Clemens approves three-year firefighters contract with Local 838

The Mount Clemens City Commission voted to approve a tentative collective bargaining agreement with Local 838 of the International Association of Fire Fighters, putting a three-year contract into effect retroactive to July 1, 2019.

A commissioner moved to approve the agreement covering the period July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2022. City staff told commissioners a tentative agreement had been reached in January, and the contract was presented for formal approval at the meeting.

The motion passed on roll call. The clerk recorded members voting in favor and the contract was approved by the commission.

Details provided in staff materials indicated the contract term and that it will remain in effect for three years; no amendments were recorded on the meeting record. The approval followed the commission’s executive-session consideration of collective bargaining negotiations and attorney–client privileged correspondence.

Next steps: The city will implement the terms of the agreement as negotiated between the city and Local 838; staff did not present further amendments on the record.
