(KLZA)-- Falls City Council members approved a new contract with the Communications Workers of America union when they met Monday evening.
The three year contract will provide a three percent pay increase to employees each year of the contract.
The supervisors group will receive a $7 per day on-call pay raise and additional time to file grievances.
Another change concerns how sick leave is paid out to retiring employees. The City was paying 100 percent of the sick leave hours after an employee had been with the City of 25 years.
Under the new agreement, the City will eventually pay only 50 percent of the sick leave hours, bringing Falls City in line with other municipalities in their peer group.
There are three separate unions representing various city employee groups.
