The contract ratification vote is when the members of the union
democratically determine whether or not to accept the terms of the
agreement that has been tentatively agreed to by the City of Lake Worth and the
unions' elected bargaining committee.

The outcome of this vote clearly shows that when the City chooses to negotiate on a morally substantial platform we are able to collectively come together and agree on a fair binding contract moving forward. I truly hope when the Pension Negotiations take place they continue to operate in good faith and chose to honor their word. Allowing us to keep our promised contributed pension contracts as is.
hell yea!!
finally! The employees are getting their raise! Its about time!
Nick become a writer!!!!
THATS ALMOST A UNANIMOUS VOTE
Good news is always a pleasant way to end the day =)
It's strange someone voted against. Didn't they want their raise?
its nice to see a positive thing happen for the employees. im sure theyre gonna be happy to see their retro checks. but the pension is the biggest issue. hopefully the city shows the same attitude when the fat cat is on the line.
I have a feeling because of nicholas, ltnn, the post articles and all our support the city wised up. I want a better city n it starts with the employees that turn the wheels

We remain optimistic and stand united when we address our pension. The City realize this will be an open dialogue and inclusion because we will not entertaine any snatch and grab tactic.
Lynn, correction PMSA was 14 yes 0 no unanimous on PMSA vote. PEU number is correct.
8 years and our first raise. Well overdue!
Its funny we had to fight tooth and nail for our onetime 4% in eight years yet Bornstien got 15000 a year added to his 100000+ salary. Got to love politics. Andy maxwell cm trilio are all crooks bleeding this city.
The retroactive pay should be a nice kicker for them
Their halfway there, the next milestone is the pension. If they dont make the honest decision the public everyone will know...
Go ldub employees!!!!!!!!! Way to unionize
lets see if late worth can take it all the way with the good attitude when pension talks begin.
