Buzz: City Fire Union Passes New Contract


My sources inside the City of Pensacola firefighters’ union tell me that yesterday they passed the new contract proposed by Mayor Ashton Hayward by a unanimous vote, 88-0. This has to be a first for the city.

For those trying to create a wedge between the mayor and the rank-and-file workers, this must be a big blow. This is a complete turnaround from where the firefighters’ union was this past summer when they passed flyers to downtown businesses blasting the proposed city budget.
